Background Hiring - The gist of this website is to use zip codes in the United States for business services and yelp style search primarily. Most people use zip codes as pinpointing location for mail with 5 number searches. These regional codes can be expanded to search within first 3 or 4 numbers as well. For locations with services and dining nearby in other zip codes the 3 or 4 zip search can expand the results conveniently.

The gist of this website is you are in the suburbs or the countryside (not a lot of referrals) and you want to hire someone for let's arbitrarily say 20 hours per week for whatever. Basically, you want more than a picture of a driver's license, the just printed out (totally not verifiable) resume and a 10 minute interview (you just get so frustrated you can't verify anything that you can't interview longer than 10 minutes). So I guess you can verify education, previous workplaces, previous work timeline and reviews (I mean I would have positive comments and negative comments and only show positive comments... this would suffice to deduce the negative comments probably aren't that bad). So it's like an experian credit report but for normal people not marketers and sales people. Could you use it also in an urban setting? Sure.
