Nowhere for a record to hide

Romania's court records aren't held in one place, they're spread across 188 local courts, 41 county courts, and 15 courts of appeal. Zinc's check covers all of them so you get the full picture, wherever a candidate's record happens to sit.

Faster hiring, less waiting

As you grow into new markets, you shouldn’t have to keep adding new tools or processes to keep up. With Zinc, you get the same candidate experience, the same dashboard, and the same support, wherever your hiring takes you next.

Confidence in your compliance

Romania's Labour Code only allows checks that verify professional and personal skills, nothing broader. Zinc’s custom checks packages help you understand exactly what you’re checking. If you have questions, Zinc’s team is here to help you navigate the Romanian Labour Code restrictions.

Thanks to automated tech and near-instant results for almost two-thirds of checks, Zinc helps you hire faster. But don’t take our word for it. All of our turnaround times, including global criminal and education checks, are published live and updated daily.

Adaptive checks, not extra admin

A criminal check in Ireland looks a lot different than in India. Zinc helps you navigate the nuance, directly in the platform. All you have to do is select the check, and we’ll adjust the process and information we collect. Zinc gives candidates a smooth, familiar experience so they aren’t stuck filling in irrelevant fields, and helps your team stay compliant with local hiring regulations.

Zinc integrates with 20+ leading global ATS and HRIS systems, including Workday, Greenhouse, and SuccessFactors. We also offer an open API, so you can build your own integration however you work best. All our integrations and open API are available at no additional cost, and most integrations can be set up in minutes without technical support.

Truly transparent pricing

Your invoice shouldn’t be a surprise. With flat-fee checks prices and no extra setup or integration costs, you only pay for the checks you run. Centralised billing keeps global teams on the same page, and unlimited references for one price helps keep you secure.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hiring with Zinc in Romania

What does Zinc's Romanian criminal check cover?

Zinc’s Romanian criminal check covers a Ministry of Justice database spanning the High Court of Cassation and Justice, 15 courts of appeal, 41 county courts, the Bucharest Municipal Court, and 188 local courts, with coverage back to 2012\.

Can Zinc run credit or adverse-financial checks in Romania?

Yes. Zinc's Romanian financial integrity check draws on two official sources: the ANAF whitelist of taxpayers with no overdue tax obligations, and Romanian court data covering the Supreme Court, Appeal Courts, and First Instance Courts. This is the same court network used for our Romanian criminal check, giving you a joined-up view of a candidate's financial and legal history.

Does the credit/adverse financial check leave a footprint on the candidate in Romania?

No. Zinc's Romanian financial integrity check does not leave a footprint on the candidate's credit profile, so it won't affect their creditworthiness.

How quickly are referees contacted, and what happens if they don't respond?

Zinc emails the referee immediately once a reference is requested.

If there's no response, contact continues on a fixed schedule: email day 1, text day 3 (if a phone number is provided), then emails on days 4, 7, and 14\. After five failed attempts, the candidate is notified and asked to provide a new referee.
