"Seamless HR Integration That Saves Time, Backed by Great Support"
5/5
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."
5/5
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.

"Highly Customizable, Fast Performance, and Great Value with Strong Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Zinc?

what I like best about Zinc is how customisable it is in the settings and how much information it can collect for you. i think the pricing is really reasonable for the support it offers. i think it performance is really good and it returns the majority of the information increadile quickly. the ai support is very good at answering questions as well. I think the intergration with other systems like google is good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zinc?

one area of improvement is when the checks are complete i think it would be best if they were ordered in the when they were completed. i also think Zinc sends a few too many emails for each update. I think the integration with workable could be improved. i think another area of improvement for references if after the reference has not replied after being contacted 5 times they should automatically prompt the employee to provide reference details again. i think they could also send more reminders to the individual to complete the information where needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Zinc Is Fast, User-Friendly, and Fully Autonomous"
5/5
What do you like best about Zinc?

Zinc is fast, user friendly, and totally autonomous. It has completely reduced our admin, with us only having to review the report and download it for our records once done! Zinc does all the work for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zinc?

I can't think of any! It has been super easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Zinc Makes Onboarding Simple with Fast, Easy-to-Understand Results"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Zinc?

Super easy sign in, profile creation, and great navigation. After having tried a few of these tools, Zinc was by far the simplest and easiest onboarding; the results arrived very quickly and were easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zinc?

One aspect I'd love to see improved is the transparency of pricing - because Zinc works on a post-paid usage-driven model, it was a bit hard to see what the cost would be upfront given my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rushali Natarajan of Zinc

Hi Pavel,

Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback. It's great to hear that Zinc has been so easy for you to implement, navigate, and use. Glad that you and your team feel supported when running background checks.

I also appreciate your note on pricing and have relayed this information to the relevant team.

Thanks once again and I hope you continue to have a fast, smooth, and smart experience with Zinc. ✨

Best,

"Effortless Employee Screening with Zinc"
5/5
What do you like best about Zinc?

I use Zinc for background checks, and it helps me automate the screening of new employees, which is really useful. I like the ease of use and how well it integrates into our ATS and HRIS. It simplifies our process since we can just add a new hire into our onboarding process, and it automatically links with Zinc and then uploads to HiBob once complete. The initial setup of Zinc was super easy, and we are really happy with the product overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zinc?

I am really happy with zinc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rushali Natarajan of Zinc

Hi Gemma!

Love hearing this. Thanks for sharing such thoughtful feedback.

It’s brilliant to know Zinc has fitted smoothly into your onboarding flow, from adding a new hire to completing checks and uploading everything to HiBob. We’re especially pleased the setup felt easy and the integrations are helping you automate the admin around background checks.

Thanks again for the 5-star review. We’re so happy Zinc is working well for your team.

Best,

"Intuitive, Seamless Background Checks with Flexible Pay-Per-Use Pricing"
5/5
What do you like best about Zinc?

The platform is extremely easy to use and intuitive. Onboarding takes just a few minutes, and running background checks for international contractors is seamless from start to finish. The pay-per-use pricing model is a huge plus for small companies like ours — no need for a subscription when you only need occasional checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zinc?

Honestly, not much to complain about. As a small company that only runs occasional checks, the main thing I'd love to see is more reporting or dashboard visibility over past checks, but it's a minor point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rushali Natarajan of Zinc

Hi Josias, thanks so much for leaving us such lovely feedback. It's great to hear that your experience with Zinc has been easy, intuitive, and seamless.

Thank you for the note regarding more visibility on checks dashboards, I will be sure to relay this our the product team.

Thanks once again and I hope you continue to have a pleasant experience using Zinc.

Best,

Rushali
