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?

Talent Acquisition Sourcer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/28/2023 "Zinc, the best background check platform" 5/5 What do you like best about Zinc? Zinc is a great all-round platform for background checks. The platform offers ease of access, pace of checks being completed and brand promotion whilst doing these things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zinc? I have yet to find something about Zinc that I dislike. Each time a candidate is processed it is automated and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zinc solving and how is that benefiting you? Prior to using Zinc we were using another platform which took a signficant amount of time to provide background and references checks on each candidate which slowed down the process and often found the checks were not done completely or at all. This has improved our time to hire and efficiency in our onboarding processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CJ Connor J. Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/26/2023 "A must have for any HR Team" 5/5 What do you like best about Zinc? The process of taking references, right to work and criminal checks has always been a lengthy process. When going through a large amount of growth, this time adds up quick. To stay compliant and automate this process, Zinc was a no brainer. The ability to create packages with different checks needed for our international team has also been great. Having gone from 100% manually running this process, seeing notification emails when checks have be completed through Zinc still excites me! Zinc is an essential to my process and I will continue to use it where ever I go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zinc? When you click into a candidates profile where you can see what checks are still outstanding, there process of getting back to the home page is not as clean. This is an incredibly minor flaw in an incredible tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zinc solving and how is that benefiting you? Automation of reference checks, right to work, criminal record and any other checks we need to conduct to stay compliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CC Christine C. Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/7/2023 "Clean UI and white glove service!" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Zinc? You can send check requests to your candidates branded with your company logo and can customize all the templates for your diff background/reference checks based on your needs. Our account rep Beth is also super responsive and helpful. I've had companies like Checkr and Goodhire run me around for weeks without proper response/demos. Easier to understand the pricing structure as well! Less clunky than some of the software provided by stodgy/huge background check companies. Great for modern/cutting-edge tech companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zinc? Zinc is great, this is more of a general comment for all background check providers. It would be great if there were guidance/available documentation on standard SOC2 compliance regulations so companies who need to be compliant can easily reference them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zinc solving and how is that benefiting you? In this culture of remote workforce it was important for us to find a vendor with global check capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a company going through a big global growth phase, we have been able to streamline and improve the candidate Background Check experience through Zinc!

The Zinc team have been really helpful from the first call with Ash, the Account Exec, to our onboarding and check-in calls with Tiasha, our CSM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
