What is a self-certification check?
A self-certification check is a type of background check that allows businesses to easily collect information from candidates, verify their details, and minimise risk in the hiring process. They are popular among recruiters collecting longer forms, such as an I-9 or SMCR.

FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our self-certification checks and processes.
What are the common use cases for custom document uploads?
There are often specific documents that companies need to collect to ensure compliance and progress in the hiring process. With our custom document upload feature, your team can easily request necessary documents, such as professional membership certifications, P45 forms, driving licences, new starter checklists or payslips. This simplifies the document collection process, allowing you to collect all the required information in one centralised location.
How do I use question-based upload submission?
Set a yes/no question to determine if a candidate is required to complete an upload submission. This way, you have control over which candidates are prompted to provide specific documents.
Will Zinc verify the documents I have requested?
No, this tool is designed as a responsive document collection tool to reduce friction and provide greater flexibility to recruiters. It is not intended to verify documents.
