All your basic, standard, and enhanced DBS checks

Whatever your hiring needs, Zinc can help. With results for all types of DBS checks being returned in days not weeks, you’ll get candidates in their roles faster when you automate your DBS checks with Zinc.

“I always thought once the DBS was in processing, it would take the same amount of time irrespective of which provider it was going through — but it doesn’t. If you’re still using the manual DBS process as a care provider in 2025, the first thing to do is get an IDSP provider. Obviously I recommend Zinc, but an IDSP will change your life overnight. It had instant results.”
