“You’ve taken about three or four hours of work and put it into 30 seconds for me. There’s not many things that wow me, and Zinc’s definitely done it.”

Marlen Gfrörer

Chief Human Resources Officer

Step 1

Choose your checks

First, you’ll need to create a Zinc account. Pop in your payment details to get started. Then head to the ‘packages’ tab to create a new package that includes the checks you want to complete.

Step 2

Choose your checks

Once you’ve completed your check package, add the candidate's details and request the checks. Your candidates can easily provide their details from any device, in a matter of minutes.

Step 3

Launch your check

Once the candidate has completed their checks, you’ll receive email confirmation with a link to their report. Here, you can view each completed check, the sources used, and any sensitive information attached. You can download the full report for record-keeping and Zinc will remove sensitive data after 30 days.
