How does Zinc support compliance for Singapore hiring?
Zinc’s centralised reporting and custom check packages help you stay confident in your compliance process.
Every check is tracked in a central dashboard, giving you visibility into status and results as they come in. Results are delivered straight to your integrated ATS or HRIS, keeping all your documentation in one place. If you have questions, Zinc's legal and compliance team is on hand to help you understand how a specific check fits your regulatory requirements.
Can Zinc integrate with our existing ATS or HRIS?
Yes. Zinc integrates with over 20 ATS and HRISs, including Workday, Successfactors, and GreenHouse, at no extra cost.
Candidate and CV data pulls through automatically, so checks trigger without any manual re-entry and results land straight back in your system. If your ATS isn't on the list, Zinc's open API and Zapier connector cover the rest. All of our integrations are available at no extra cost, and most can be set up in minutes without any technical support.
