Background check experience
As a financial organisation operating under strict regulatory requirements, Yonder faces significant challenges during its hiring process. Compliance with the FCA regulations requires comprehensive background checks for every new hire. These include scrutinising financial histories through credit reports and CCJ assessments, validating identities, verifying employment history for the past five years, conducting DBS checks, and investigating UK directorship statuses and any disqualifications.
The necessity for these multiple checks per role often prolongs the hiring process, stretching it over weeks or months, and places a substantial administrative burden on the HR team. This diversion of resources significantly detracts from their ability to focus on more strategic tasks like talent acquisition and streamlining onboarding procedures.
Yonder needed a tool they can rely on to improve efficiency and remain compliant. The tool needed to reduce the manual actions required from both candidates and the team and provide an easy-to-use platform for candidates and for the referees filling out references.
Yonder's recruitment process underwent a remarkable transformation with the integration of Zinc, influenced by Smitha's positive experience with the platform in a previous role. By seamlessly incorporating Zinc into their operations, Yonder achieved a remarkable simplification of their hiring tasks, saving at least 90 minutes per candidate. This solution not only facilitated efficient and compliant background checks but also seamlessly integrated with existing systems, alleviating administrative burdens and liberating resources for a more candidate-centric approach. According to Smitha, People Ops and Talent Manager, what sets Zinc apart is its ability to effortlessly handle complex background checks with a click of a button. With pre-built package templates offering clear guidance on industry-specific requirements, even the most comprehensive checks are now completed swiftly, ensuring a streamlined and expedited recruitment journey for both Yonder and every single candidate.
