Can Zinc handle scaling business?
Zinc was built for scaling businesses — we’re on the growth journey, too. Whether you’re hiring a little or a lot, we can help.
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.
No matter what option you choose, you’ll always have access to live chat, email support, and no-cost integrations.

Does Zinc integrate with our existing HR tech stack?
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 have 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.
