Ready for regulatory scrutiny
CySEC-regulated firms need clean, documented screening for directors, shareholders, and key staff. Zinc's process gives you a check trail you can stand behind if a regulator ever needs them, either directly in your dashboard or an integrated ATS or HRIS.
Fast answers for fast hiring
Candidates’ questions don’t wait for business hours. With Zinc’s 24/7 AI chatbot, candidates can get answers to queries in minutes, in both Greek or Turkish, so that their background checks aren’t slowed down.
One global system
Your Cypriot hiring doesn't need its own standalone process. Zinc keeps it on the same dashboard as every other country you hire in, so your team isn't managing two different systems side by side.
“It’s great that it integrates with our ATS and HR systems. We’ve set up different packages for different job roles, which means checks are automatically sent to candidates when they’re hired. The ability to customise packages is really useful for us as a firm providing an array of services, because different teams need different levels of coverage. Our account manager is always quick to respond, and no issue we’ve had has ever gone unsolved. Checks are returned quickly and efficiently. We use Zinc every day, and it’s super user-friendly, clear, and easy to read.”

“Background checks are a really important part of our onboarding process due to the sensitive work some of our people do. Zinc has made the whole process much simpler and quicker. I really like how easy it is to contact Zinc for support, the chat feature is brilliant and even via email I've been very happy with the quick and thorough responses I've had.”
What does Zinc’s Cyprus criminal check cover?
Zinc’s Cyprus criminal check covers a court search via the First Instance Court, Supreme Court, and Constitutional Court, with a seven-year lookback, nationwide, excluding the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
The candidate provides their first and last name, birth date, name in Cypriot Greek (mandatory for both citizens and foreigners), last registered address in Cyprus, nationality, and consent. The address isn't used to run the search itself. It's only used as a backup identifier when a second identifier isn't otherwise available.
Can Zinc provide a Certificate of Good Conduct in Cyprus?
No. Roles involving vulnerable populations, children, or security sensitivity require the candidate to get this directly from Cypriot Police. Zinc can't provide this document itself.
Can Zinc run credit or financial checks in Cyprus?
Zinc offers a credit judgment and litigation check in Cyprus, sourced via the Ministry of Justice and drawing on the Supreme Court and all Cypriot appeal courts, with data going back to the 1990s depending on the court. Debts under €25,000 are exempt.
Can Zinc run checks for our employees in Cyprus alongside our global workforce?
Yes, that's exactly what Zinc is built for. Your hiring in Cyprus sits on the same platform as your other international hires, so you’re using one centralised system instead of paying for localised solutions.
All your checks progress is available in a centralised dashboard, including country-by-country breakdowns. If you have multiple hiring teams globally, user groups allow you to share checks packages across Zinc without exposing candidate data to users who don’t need to see it.
