Zinc is different.  Founded on the belief that there’s a better way to do background checks, Zinc is an automated platform that makes your job easier and your candidates happier. Just enter a candidate’s details, select the checks you want to send, and you’re done.  With over 190 supported countries, you can be confident that you’ll get fast, accurate checks every time. Zinc automates candidate document collection and referencing follow-ups, and directly integrates with HMRC to provide employment verification in minutes — not days.  Real-time status updates keep you and your candidates in the loop, enhancing transparency and cutting down on questions. Whether you’re hiring one candidate or hundreds, re-usable check packages, custom reference questions, and an automated process mean you’ll be able to send checks in just a few clicks.  Zinc is built to integrate with your HR tech stack, including Workday, Pinpoint, HiBob, and more, so once results are in, you can go straight to your HRIS or ATS to view the results.  Zinc is serious about data security, and are SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified. * * * Product Website Zinc Seller [Zinc Work](https://www.g2.com/sellers/zinc-work) Discussions [Zinc Community](https://www.g2.com/products/zinc-work/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Charlotte Hall ((she/her) ⚡️Background checking reimagined ⚡️ Co-Founder at Zinc & Podcast producer at Talent hacks for scaleups) Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 1 month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/zinc-work/pricing) ## Zinc Integrations (18) What do users say about integrations?

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. What problems is Zinc solving and how is that benefiting you? The speed in which DBS checks come back is really good - I have used different platforms before which take a long time and can therefore mean that we cant get the candidate started quickly.
