Why conduct an identity check?
Identity checks tell you whether your candidate is really who they say they are. With a thorough identity check, you can protect your business from fraud or misrepresentation and gain complete visibility on the information you need to make smarter hiring decisions.
“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.”

FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our employment identity checks and processes.
How does your software verify a candidate's identity?
Zinc verifies a candidate's identity by cross-referencing their provided information, such as name, date of birth, and other identifying data, against reliable and authoritative sources. Our system also checks government-issued IDs, ensuring the candidate's identity is genuine and accurate.
What is the turnaround time for receiving identity verification results?
In most instances, results are available within a few business hours. However, the turnaround time for receiving identity verification may vary on a candidate-by-candidate basis.
Can your software integrate with our existing ATS or HRIS platforms for seamless processing of checks?
Yes, our employee background screening software can integrate with your existing ATS or HRIS platforms. We currently integrate with over 14 ATS platforms such as Greenhouse, SmartRecruiters, and Workable, for seamless processing of education checks. Find our full list of integrations here.
