Here’s how it works:
Step one: Select your checks
With Zinc you get exactly the checks you want, and no extras you don’t. Make your own templates and re-use them, or use our pre-built packages to align with any regulatory check requirements.
Zinc offers global checks in over 190 countries, including:
Credit checks

Step two: Tell Zinc who you’re checking

The rest is easy: Candidates use our mobile-friendly platform to submit any required information, referee names, and additional documents. We’ll even chase references for you.
Here’s what Becca Covill, HR Operations Specialist at Jensten, said about Zinc references:
“When we’ve used different providers, there was a lot of manual intervention required. But with Zinc, we’ve been able to put them in, click a button, and it just runs.”
