You're right, now that I think about it. One entity whose name ends in "Agency" would do this by changing their own rules. They would take a summer hire, do a limited background check, put them on the almighty box, and declare victory. To do the background investigation and vetting correctly would take more time than the co-op or summer hire would actually be working.
