You try to verify as much as you can to see if the resume or information related to by the applicant is accurate. The minimums would be:
Name of Employer
Dates of Employment
Job Titles while employed.
Salary (if they are willing to provide)
Eligible for rehire ( if they are willing to provide)

If the company is out of business ask for a reference that worked at the company during the period the applicant did. They should be able to confirm some information.
