Why conduct financial background checks?

Adverse financial history checks provide insight into candidates’ financial responsibility, which is crucial for roles that involve financial decision-making. With comprehensive background checks, businesses can avoid costly mistakes in the hiring process.

“Being FCA regulated we have no room for error with our checks. Zinc is our go-to for DBS & RTW checks with lightning fast turn-around times, zero admin, and maintaining a best in class candidate experience”

Reduce risk

An innovative platform for global information

Our advanced algorithm searches all possible name combinations to deliver a comprehensive financial history report. This means hiring teams can access the global data they need to make well-informed hiring decisions.

Protect reputation

Best-in-class candidate experience

Financial checks are sensitive in nature. Zinc ensures a non-intrusive, convenient process for candidates. They only input their details once, and we consolidate information so checks can be submitted and returned faster, ensuring a smooth onboarding process.

How it works

Zinc provides a fast, transparent finance checking process that is convenient for candidates and efficient for hiring teams.

Candidates upload a proof of identity document, such as a government ID, passport or driving licence.

Zinc automatically verifies the legitimacy of the document and details are checked with regulatory and adverse financial lists.

Results are returned in seconds to fast-track the hiring process.

“I can’t fault Zinc really, for me it’s been a seamless process even with changing the integrations from Workable to Greenhouse it’s been easy. As a team when it comes to the process we don’t even have to think about it really, which is a good thing.”

Philip Stephens

People Operations Specialist

“Zinc is coming up with new ways to improve the experience such as allowing the HMRC check to be completed alongside regulatory references, a game changer when ensuring a candidate's work history is accounted for. All in all, a great experience so far!”

Claire Jackson

Compliance Coordinator

“The Zinc team comes with ideas that brings it to the next level. I really appreciate that there is a willingness to develop and make changes. It's quick and it just happens. It's so difficult to find other partners that have that have that same mindset. For me that's the most important thing that you actually want to hear what we're saying and adapt to our ways of thinking.”

Marlen Gfrörer

Staff Onboarding

“I needed something that I could rely on to do thorough background checks. You can't cut corners on recruitment in education. If you can't do the safeguarding at recruitment, then you're letting unsafe people into the organisation. I needed something that I could depend on, and I’m 100% confident Zinc is that.”

Alex Pazik

Safeguarding Manager

“We have been using Zinc for nearly 2 years now and it has made a world of difference with our onboarding. Zinc saves us a huge amount of time, takes the admin off our team along with having all the references in one place. We can click a button and everything is done for us, we will never go back to manual reference checking”

Craig McElroy

Talent Acquisition Manager

“Zinc is brilliant! It takes a big burden off us by handling reference follow-ups and chasing. Plus, the integration with PinPoint works great! It’s simple and easy to use for new hires and employers alike, and the chat is really useful too. Being 100% compliant with our client’s background verification requirements gives me peace of mind and keeps us feeling on top of our game!”
