Our mission

“Zinc has streamlined our pre-employment checks massively. Knowing that the platform can check documents to a higher standard than a human can gives us great peace of mind when hiring new team members to work with our children!”

“The references are so straightforward. That was a very manual process for me previously, sending them off and chasing them. They're coming back really fast and it all seems to be working really well.”

“Zinc has been so helpful and has reduced our time for background checks to be complete drastically. It is also super easy to use both from our side and employee sides - zero complaints”

“Zinc has made our lives a lot easier. The Right to Work check comes back quickly, usually within a day!”

“In terms of time saved it’s priceless, I am extremely happy. Its not just time and space back in my calendar but also my inbox! The implementations and the follow up sessions have been a great experience and very beneficial.”

“It’s working really well, it is nice, once a candidate’s profile is completed it automatically filters through to Bob. This has taken out quite a manual task for myself and the Zinc support team have been a massive help”

“We’ve had really positive feedback from our users, it’s a really smooth process and user friendly!”

“Our new person that joined us this week said it was really, really user-friendly. She was really impressed with how persistent you were in getting the references that were needed. From my point of view, it's just really easy. Makes my life easier and you feel kind of reassured that you are definitely going to get the checks in....really impressed so far with my experience with Zinc.”

Working with Zinc meant that we were able to demonstrate throughout the whole recruitment & onboarding process how much we truly do care about candidate experience.

“For me, the impact is just knowing that the checks are done, the DBS comes in a very nice format and I can easily see that we've got the references we need. It's the peace of mind that we've done those checks, they are solid and we know we're hiring the right people.”

“Having the process automated is great, it has reduced the time I am spending in the process. DBS checks are coming back in a matter of days means we have not had any issues with start dates as a result.”

“It’s working fantastically. The time saving element, which is one of the reasons we chose Zinc, has been excellent so far and the team have found it easy to use.”

“We click on Zinc, the UX is easy. It's very intuitive. It's 3 clicks, and you're done. This was really important to us from not only the customer side but also from the admin side as we’re the ones who have to use it daily. I don't want to go through a 10-click process to do something as simple as sending a reference.”

“Zinc has done us wonders and saved us so much time. This has meant our team has started doing more work on other projects which we couldn’t do beforehand, it’s definitely helped our workload.”

”We are very satisfied with Zinc as our background check provider. Their great service seamlessly integrates with our HR tools, allowing us to expedite and enhance the onboarding process for our new joiners.”

“I can’t fault Zinc really, for me it’s been a seamless process even with changing the integrations from Workable to Greenhouse it’s been easy. As a team when it comes to the process we don’t even have to think about it really, which is a good thing.”

“Zinc is coming up with new ways to improve the experience such as allowing the HMRC check to be completed alongside regulatory references, a game changer when ensuring a candidate's work history is accounted for. All in all, a great experience so far!”

“The Zinc team comes with ideas that brings it to the next level. I really appreciate that there is a willingness to develop and make changes. It's quick and it just happens. It's so difficult to find other partners that have that have that same mindset. For me that's the most important thing that you actually want to hear what we're saying and adapt to our ways of thinking.”

“I needed something that I could rely on to do thorough background checks. You can't cut corners on recruitment in education. If you can't do the safeguarding at recruitment, then you're letting unsafe people into the organisation. I needed something that I could depend on, and I’m 100% confident Zinc is that.”

“We switched to Zinc from another provider and it’s perfect for us. The platform is easy to use and we love the rebrand!”

“We have been using Zinc for nearly 2 years now and it has made a world of difference with our onboarding. Zinc saves us a huge amount of time, takes the admin off our team along with having all the references in one place. We can click a button and everything is done for us, we will never go back to manual reference checking”

"Zinc has been working really well! It’s been really easy and so nice to have a platform that just gets everything done so efficiently and conveniently. Being able to have the results before candidates start, globally, is incredible."

"Everything is going really well as always, me and the team absolutely love Zinc. It has made our process and lives so much easier!"

“Being FCA regulated we have no room for error with our checks. Zinc is our go-to for DBS & RTW checks with lightning fast turn-around times, zero admin, and maintaining a best in class candidate experience”

“The time the team is now saving using Zinc is really incredible which has allowed us to focus on our day to day job. The platform itself is super easy to use, it has really improved our process and no longer having to do manual chases. Turnaround times are now just days vs waiting months before we started working with Zinc”

"The process is so so quick, I made an offer to someone on Thursday to start the following Tuesday and started checks the same day which came back in a matter of hours which was unbelievable"

“We sent out background checks Wednesday afternoon, by Thursday morning they came back complete and I could hand a laptop to the new person and say congrats. It’s that turnaround for a new joiner that is incredible”

“Zinc is brilliant! It takes a big burden off us by handling reference follow-ups and chasing. Plus, the integration with PinPoint works great! It’s simple and easy to use for new hires and employers alike, and the chat is really useful too. Being 100% compliant with our client’s background verification requirements gives me peace of mind and keeps us feeling on top of our game!”

"The change to Zinc as our background check supplier has been a watershed moment. Turnaround times dropped, reporting is more transparent and everything is automated."

"The backend functionality is as good as the front end; using it as a candidate is super straightforward, but as an admin it's even easier!"

"Zinc covers all the checks we need, has great customer service, integrates with the tools we use, and the whole system is very slick and easy to use."

"Zinc is an absolute time saver for our hiring team. With Zinc, our reference checks have a much quicker turnaround as notifications are automatically sent through the system and the app is really easy to use."

"We implemented Zinc because it saves us so much time. It’s definitely a step up from what we used before. Where possible we want to automate everything and make it easier and we’ve saved hours of time with Zinc."

"Everything has been fantastic. We couldn’t have wished for a smoother integration. It’s actually been the easiest integration we’ve had with Workable - it’s just click a button and go."

"Zinc almost feels too good to be true, it’s so affordable, smart, quick and hassle-free. The app looks really cool and our candidates find it super easy to use."

"I was introduced to Zinc earlier this year and couldn't believe how easy it was to integrate with our ATS and HRIS systems. With a click of a button and we get all the checks we require on a global level."

"The support has been outstanding, every minor issue receives prompt attention and we had total support during setup."

"All the feedback has been positive from our candidates. Zinc's amazing. It all happens very seamlessly and very smoothly, it’s never something I have to worry about. Very happy with Zinc."
