Great question. Zinc was founded to make background checking better, through fully automated checks that give you results faster and provide a top-tier candidate experience.

Traditional background checking providers rely on large, outsourced workforces to manually complete checks, which pushes admin down to your HR team and slows down turnaround times.

Zinc was built as a tech-first platform that automates reference chasing, integrates seamlessly with your ATS or HRIS, and allows candidates to complete checks on-the-go via a mobile-friendly interface.

At the end of the day, we’re here to help you do your best work — not spend hours chasing check results and stressing about candidate start dates.

Zinc integrates with all major ATS and HRIS systems at no cost, including Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Pinpoint, and more. Our integrations are easy to set up in minutes, and most don’t require any tech support (but we’re always here if you need questions).

With Zinc’s integrations, you can send checks and view results directly from your ATS or HRIS. Whether you’re building custom packages or bringing all your employee info under one roof, Zinc is designed to help streamline your workflows and save admin time.

All of our integrations are designed with compliance in mind, so you can be confident that your data is always safe and secure.

Getting started with Zinc is quick and simple.

If you’re hiring more than 50 employees a year, book a call with our team to talk about tailored options for your company size, industry, and hiring goals.

If you’re hiring less than 50 employees a year, our Pay As You Grow (PAYG) account is the perfect option. You’ll have total flexibility over what checks you send, and can scale up or down based on your hiring volumes. We’ll only charge you for the checks you actually use, and there are never any hidden fees.

Yes, Zinc’s background checks can be adapted for whatever hiring situation you have.

You can build your own custom check packages directly in the platform yourself to align with any hiring requirements you have, and re-use them across multiple roles. We also offer pre-built check packages to align with industry-specific requirements like SMCR, CQC Regulation 19, and Ofsted requirements.
