How it works

step 1

Manage service users

Go to service users in HiBob: Settings > Integrations > On the 'Service Users' card (the robot), click 'Manage'.

step 2

Create service user

Click “New service user”. Add any User & Display name you like. Copy the Service User ID & Token and then go to Zinc.

step 3

Add service user to Zinc

In Zinc, click on your name in the bottom left to your account page, then click on the Company tab. Under HRIS Integrations, click 'API key' and paste the Service User ID & Token from Bob into Zinc.

step 4

Create check category

In Hibob, under Employee fields create a new category called: Background check.

step 5

Create category field

Once you've created a category, add a new category field. The fields required are: Status (text), Date of check (date), Type of check (text), Report link (text) and Report (document). If you're conducting UK Right to work checks, add: RTW Document Expiry (text), Document Type (text), Nationality or Share code (text), RTW Status (text) - to optionally upload UK Right to work data.

step 6

Add service user group

Go to Permission Groups in Settings, and click ‘Create group’. Give the permission group any name you’d like, and click ‘Select people by condition’. Click on the bin icon to delete the line that reads ‘Lifestyle status’ to ‘Employed’. Under Specific Employees you can then add the service user group you created at steps 1 and 2 under Service Users and clicking apply twice.

step 7

Service user permissions

First, select under “Access rights” - “Select people by condition” and add ‘Lifestyle status’ to ‘Employed’ and ‘Hired’. Under “Manage permissions”, click on the following 3 sections so they show a tick: 1. People > Background checks (the category created) > tick all. 2. People > Personal contact details > tick both View. 3. Docs > Confidential Docs > tick all.

step 8

Contact Zinc

Contact your Zinc account manager to complete the integration. Your account manager will confirm when the internal steps are complete and the integration can go live.
