Hiring one employee or 100? No matter what, send checks in just a few clicks. Choose from pre-built or custom check packages to make sure you’re always getting the right results.
Speed doesn’t mean compromise. Zinc’s automation-first platform keeps your data safe, and returns results in record time.
Whether it’s your dedicated account manager or a 90-second response on our live chat, you and your candidates always have a direct line to us when you need it.
Comprehensive checks, seamless integrations, and deep industry expertise.
Manual background checks can pass candidate data across dozens of desks, posing a serious risk to the safety and security of your organisation. Zinc leads with automation, reducing human touchpoints and the opportunity for data exposure or mistakes. Plus, it’s fully compliant with regulations like BPSS and BS7858.
Whether you’re hiring technicians, managers, or senior staff, Zinc can help. With unlimited custom check packages, you can be sure that you’re getting the results you need to keep your organisation secure. Zinc’s automated platform makes it easy to run large volumes of checks at the same time, and stay up-to-date on progress or results.
You need a system that moves as fast as you do. Zinc integrates for free with 20+ ATSs and HRISs to make sure you can send checks without leaving the platform. Most integrations can be set up in minutes, and don’t require any technical support (but we’re always here if you need us).

Are Zinc’s checks compliant with BPSS and BS7858 standards?
Yes, Zinc offers automated packages specifically designed to meet BPSS and BS7858 regulatory standards for companies in the energy and utility sector. And if you need a custom solution, you can build your own checks packages so you’re only checking exactly what you want to.
If you have questions about what checks to run, more than 5% of our company headcount is dedicated to legal, compliance, and data security — so you always have access to an expert opinion on fulfilling your statutory requirements.

We offer adjustable user-access levels to suit your business, as well as secure access to reports with SSO options.

Zinc’s platform is built to adapt to your hiring patterns, and can easily scale up or down depending on your needs.
Bulk uploads are easy. Just select the check package you’d like to use, upload a CSV file with candidate details, and send the checks immediately or schedule them for a later date.
Because our platform is tech-first and not dependent on manual, human-led checks, Zinc runs all your checks simultaneously to return results quickly. Plus, we’ll keep you updated the entire time, so you’re never left in the dark on progress or candidate start dates.
Does Zinc integrate with my ATS or HRIS system?
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).
