Zinc's mission

Helping people seamlessly prove their work identity

With 15 years of experience in recruiting, our co-founders Luke and Charlotte knew there had to be a better way to run background checks. Outdated platforms, bad candidate experience, and manual processes just weren’t cutting it.

Zinc was built with a mission to help people prove their work identity seamlessly. Our process starts by putting people at the centre of the process, and believes in technology as an aid for all — not a barrier.

Today, Zinc is a culture-first company with over 100 employees. Alongside Luke and Charlotte, they come to work every day with a passion to help people on their journey to new jobs.

We’re proud to have won multiple culture awards, from Tempo’s No.1 Place to Work in 2024 to x best place to work.

Whether it’s engineers empathising with the pain of jobseeking or our customer success team bending over backwards to ensure your candidates are comfortable submitting checks, Zinc cares about people from start to finish.

Our values

We’re here to promote a transparent, sustainable background check process, where it’s in the best interests of candidates and organisations to prove their work identify with Zinc.

No more background check anxiety from submitting your most precious documents over email. Or uploading information to dated platforms that are woefully under equipped to be processing sensitive data.
