## Zinc Reviews
  ### 1. Great tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2021

**What do you like best about Zinc?**

Zinc is easy to use and a very efficient way of completing a reference check.

**What do you dislike about Zinc?**

Some of the questions on the reference check seem not very relevant, not sure if there is a way to tailer this to our needs but that would be a useful addition to the tool.

**What problems is Zinc solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Responses from referees are better using the tool, and I have saved my time as a recruiter. Having it integrate with Workable has been great, one click and my work is done!

**Official Response from Charlotte Hall:**

> Hey, thank you for leaving a review :) All of the reference questions are customizable. Get in touch with your account manager at Zinc and we'd be more than happy to show you how to do this on a quick call. 

  ### 2. Great Service!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Abigail  M. | HRBP, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021

**What do you like best about Zinc?**

Its quick and easy and the customer services response times are really reactive

**What do you dislike about Zinc?**

Nothing really, I think it's fine the way it is

**What problems is Zinc solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We've managed to reduce the time it takes to get our background checks done dramatically and integrated it into our in house system, meaning that it's a smoother and quicker process for the business

**Official Response from Charlotte Hall:**

> Thanks for your review Abigail! We truly value quick customer service at Zinc and I'm glad you've found it reactive. Have a great week. 

  ### 3. Following up quikly

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Maryam K. | Postdoctoral Researcher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 01, 2022

**What do you like best about Zinc?**

speed of following
I don't have enough experience

**What do you dislike about Zinc?**

nothing
I don't have enough experience with you

**What problems is Zinc solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It asked about my background from my references.

  ### 4. Quick and easy, but still a work in progress.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2021

**What do you like best about Zinc?**

Easy summary without the hassle of collecting the personal docs ourselves - GDPR compliance risk avoided.

**What do you dislike about Zinc?**

Criminal checks seem to be local only, so for international candidates who've worked in multiple locations and require a higher level of clearance, the process isn't clear/ doesn't yet exist within Zinc for how to cover all the locations globally.

**What problems is Zinc solving and how is that benefiting you?**

One summary report, so all the information is available in one place - this is easier to show when we're being asked to submit information for audits as it also limits what we share and for a specific purpose.

**Official Response from Charlotte Hall:**

> Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad that Zinc is taking away the hassle of conducting background checks for you. We offer a range of global background checks including criminal record checks. Please get in touch if you'd like more information on this and we can run through it on a quick call. Have a lovely day!

  ### 5. A fast and efficient way to make reference and background check for any company you want to share

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2022

**What do you like best about Zinc?**

The ease of use and advices on what to fill in the checks.

**What do you dislike about Zinc?**

Nothing that I can  remember. Just as a first time user it was weird to put my docs on the site

**What problems is Zinc solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can keep my references and background check on one place and share with whatever company I want.

  ### 6. effective way to conduct compliant background and reference checks

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 04, 2022

**What do you like best about Zinc?**

I like that it is an end-to-end solution.

**What do you dislike about Zinc?**

I dislike that I cannot direct questions directly to the prospective employee.

**What problems is Zinc solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reference and background checking.

  ### 7. Excellent tool to automate background checks

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Thomas F. | Head of People & Talent, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2021

**What do you like best about Zinc?**

- Frictionless onboarding
- Zinc team adjusts to tailoring needs our business has
- Whitelabelled and customizable for our brand

**What do you dislike about Zinc?**

Interface doesn't take into account that a company might want to do background checks without references. Their engineering team manually solved this for us but right now Zinc's UX assumes that you will always request references PLUS background checks like ID, criminal etc.

**What problems is Zinc solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Not having background checks was a significant blocker to us adopting SOC2 — with Zinc that blocker was gone in less than a week.

  ### 8. Great Digital DBS Check and Referencing Service

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tomas M. | Operations Lead, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2021

**What do you like best about Zinc?**

The speed and efficiency of their checks

**What do you dislike about Zinc?**

Platform UI could be better - but it's still pretty good

**What problems is Zinc solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automating the DBS and Referencing Checks helps save an average of 1 hr per candidate. The results also come back a lot faster than with most other providers. Overall significant saving of time and headspace.

**Official Response from Charlotte Hall:**

> Hey Tomas, thank you for your review! We're glad you can save one hour per candidate and get on with other jobs within the business!

All the best, Charlotte

Zinc gives me fantastic opportunity to check fastly references from our candidates and confirm their previous employments.
