I tried Zinc and I liked it

The company that hires me asks me to pass checks with Zink.

PROS

The company that hires me asks me to pass checks with Zink. It was an easy and good experience

CONS

The criminal check description is not clear. For example, I am Ukrainian and live now in the UK. What check should I pass - Ukraine or UK? What documents should I load, etc?Also, this check takes a long time and you can not see any progress on it.

Great tool and has streamlined our process

Overall, Zinc has helped our compliance and also saved us a lot of time in chasing for references for candidates. [sensitive content hidden] our account manager is very hands on and helpful.

PROS

Zinc's customer support is always helpful and efficient and have access to the knowledge and skills to resolve my question from their chat feature. The results provided from the checks are clear and easy to understand

CONS

Sometimes there are checks pending and it's not always clear if an action is needed on my side as admin or on the side of the candidate. To resolve this, a quick chat with the support team clarifies this and sends a nudge to whoever it is pending for.It would be good for this to be clear on the check page.The tool used to be very notification heavy, but I know this has now been fixed

Vendor Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! It's great to hear that our live chat has helped easily answer your queries. That's great feedback about the check's pending status, I'll pass that on to the team. I hope you're loving our new notification control feature. All the best, Rachel from Zinc

Zinc has saved us so much time

Overall brilliant. Easy to do, even if you have checks that you don't usually require, such as regulatory roles, you can just create a package online and they invoice you for what you need. Their customer support is quick, easy and sort out any issues you have straight away. Strongly recommend.

PROS

We previously did our references and DBS checks in house. Adding Zinc into to our ATS for automation has been a game changer. As a small team, it has saved us so much time!

CONS

The only one tiny thing is to put in a template email for referencing for regulatory roles, and explain why you need to ask the extra questions. Might also be good to have template questions from FCA forms

Vendor Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback on Zinc, we really appreciate it! It's great to hear that Zinc has helped you save lots of time. That's great feedback on an email template for regulatory roles, I've passed this on to the team. Many thanks, Rachel from Zinc

Most Secure and reliable database for Recruiters and aspirants.

Fabolous experience with Zinc, i never thought background checks will take minutes for verifying the contacts, and another important aspect is its connecting with the reference directly within minutes and taking their valuable inputs, and providing the acknowledgement for the same to the user, which makes this Zinc as global leader!

PROS

Is its self explanatory feature which makes the whole process much easy, steps taken in building its GUI and API are useful.

CONS

Improve the resolution of CS timing, as it takes a little time to get in touch with CS team.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your kind words on Zinc! It's great to hear that you had a fabulous experience. Best, Rachel

My experience using Zinc

As a user, it served it's purpose well.

PROS

Using zinc was pretty good. It UI designs are very pleasing to the sees and it's easy to use. I was able to get things done quite fast without much struggle.

CONS

User navigations are not well intuitive causing one to search longer for obvious features. The upload feature for the chat wasn't working, thus I couldn't upload a screenshot while talking to the operator.

Vendor Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, George. I'm sorry to hear you found the app slightly challenging to navigate, I've passed this feedback onto our tech team. Best, Rachel from Zinc

Great system for checking references

PROS

Zinc platform is very easy to use. It provides automation and transparency which is something I've not seen done this well before.

CONS

There seem to be some glitches in the system, e.g. once a name of the company is assigned to an email address, it can't be changed by the user. However, the customer support is able to resolve it very quickly.

Vendor Response

Thanks for leaving us a review! It's great to hear you find Zinc easy to use. I'm pleased customer support was able to easily resolve your issue. Best, Rachel from Zinc

Great replacement for a lacklustre rival background-checker with immediate QoL improvements.

I'm saving at least 2 hours a week through Zinc.

PROS

Quick set-up, fast turnaround of references, on-hand chat assistance.

CONS

Not yet encountered noteworthy issues. Perhaps the option to view/hide detailed information on cases, rather than option minimise/maximise entire review section?

Vendor Response

Hi Simon, thanks for taking the time to leave a review on Zinc. It's awesome to hear you're saving so much time using Zinc! I'll also pass on your mention of view/hide options on candidate reports. Many thanks, Rachel from Zinc

Helpful and responsive customer service

PROS

Easy to use, very responsive and helpful customer service that are always ready to help. Easy to keep track of the who, what and when of the different checks that we request.

CONS

Sometimes the criminal checks can take too long, occasionally it is quicker/needed to go directly to GOV for the criminal check if the criminal check is urgent, however that is more expensive. The disclosure Scotland Application Form process is a bit inconvenient as it seems to have changed to a more long winded way of doing it. Invoices can sometimes be a bit difficult to understand where the purchases came from but customer service can find out for us quickly.

Vendor Response

Hi Cameron, thanks for taking the time to leave a review on Zinc. We really appreciate your insightful feedback, I will pass this on to our product team. I'm glad to hear our customer service team were able to help clarify the invoices for you. Many thanks, Rachel from Zinc

CONS

Customisation of reference requests to give different questions dependent on the type of referee (and remove the four mandatory questions for some).
