Background check experience
Before using Zinc, LendInvest's people and talent team were burdened with extensive administrative work in the hiring process. This time-consuming task prevented them from focusing on more strategic aspects within the business. They needed a tool to automate this process and create a seamless experience for both the talent team and the candidates.
LendInvest was looking for a cutting-edge tech solution that would streamline the administrative aspects of recruitment without compromising the quality and experience for candidates. The ideal tool would need to be seamless, user-friendly, and provide positive feedback from candidates to ensure confidence in implementing it permanently.
