I did see something like that posted here a while back.  It was mediocre at
best.  I tested it with a dozen names that I have full backgrounds on, and
it missed quite a bit.  Sorry, don't recall what the link was.  I suppose if
it showed something major and you already had an uncomfortable feeling about
a potential employee it might save you the cost of a full background check,
but I would not trust it for anybody I actually hired.  I do not pull any
background check unless I am actually considering hiring a person, and I
make them bring a certified copy of their driving record when they fill out
an application.
