"Seamless HR Integration That Saves Time, Backed by Great Support"
What do you like best about Zinc?

How the system is linked with our recruitment and HR systems making all checks and paper work sycn automatically and saves us so much time not having to check multiple systems.

Shows where all the checks are when being processed and is simple to set up packages to work for the foundation.

Customer service and support is great, teams are alwyas incredible helpful and offer help and answers when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zinc?

When a check is outstanding the chat bot isn't helpful as it doesn't give a reason as to why . We have had an enhanced check outstanding for a long time overdue and it couldn't share any information as to why or say that the colleague needed to escalate to the DBS service. It would have been nice for the prompt or this to have been flagged to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Background Checking tool - has transformed our onboarding processes."
What do you like best about Zinc?

It’s great that it integrates with our ATS and HR systems. We’ve set up different packages for different job roles, which means checks are automatically sent to candidates when they’re hired. The ability to customise packages is really useful for us as a firm providing an array of services, because different teams need different levels of coverage.

Our account manager is always quick to respond, and no issue we’ve had has ever gone unsolved. Checks are returned quickly and efficiently. We use Zinc every day, and it’s super user-friendly, clear, and easy to read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zinc?

We have had no issues using Zinc since joining. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zinc?

Very little, it’s a strong platform. Our onboarding experience has been excellent, and we’ve had no major issues so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless, User‑Friendly, and Well‑Integrated"
What do you like best about Zinc?

What I like best about Zinc is how user‑friendly it is. It has made my role, and my colleagues’ day‑to‑day work, much easier and more efficient, while also significantly improving the overall experience for our candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zinc?

There isn’t much to dislike about Zinc. If anything, a potential improvement would be having direct access to live chat with customer support, rather than needing to go through the chatbot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Really great platform if you are looking to onboard candidates smoothly!"
What do you like best about Zinc?

Zinc is a platform which allows candidates to follow a step by step guide on submitting onboarding checks, the response time for checks coming back is minimal meaning our good quality candidates can start in their positions quickly! I use the platform every day and with minimal down times on the platform it also means I can get access to the information I need ASAP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zinc?

The repsonse time from the customer support team can vary which can sometimes be difficult if we urgently need something from them to get it sorted. Nevertheless, we do always have our account manager who can then get this sorted and escalated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
