I tried Zinc and I liked it
The company that hires me asks me to pass checks with Zink.
PROSThe company that hires me asks me to pass checks with Zink. It was an easy and good experience
CONSThe 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.
PROSZinc'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
CONSSometimes 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

Review for BGV
It is great to see that Zinc keeps transparency between employees and references
CONSIts time consuming. The background verification process can be much faster. However, it is doing great though.

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.
PROSWe 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!
CONSThe 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!
PROSIs its self explanatory feature which makes the whole process much easy, steps taken in building its GUI and API are useful.
CONSImprove the resolution of CS timing, as it takes a little time to get in touch with CS team.

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

Great solution for background checks
Extremely easy and intuitive to set up and use, great customer support. Improves administration of onboarding and new joiner experience.
CONSCustomisation of reference requests to give different questions dependent on the type of referee (and remove the four mandatory questions for some).

Helpful and responsive customer service
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.
CONSSometimes 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.

Allowing us to meet our compliance obligations for SOC2 as well as our regulatory requirements, Zinc has been excellent in allowing us to reach out goals.
PROSEasy to use. The platform is very user friendly, with no set up fees to use which is great! The checks themselves seem very comprehensive and quite fast, and the reports are easy to read and understand.
CONSMissing integration with BambooHR. Would appreciate this to be a feature in future. Using Zapier is not the most ideal solution as there is additional cost and complexity involved.

Exceptional Experience with Zincwork
Zincwork has truly been a game-changer for me. The platform's standout features are its user-friendly interface and exceptional customer support. The ease of use, combined with its powerful functionality, sets Zincwork apart from the competition. Whether you're a novice or an expert, you'll find it incredibly intuitive and efficient.
CONSWhile Zincwork excels in many aspects, there's still room for improvement in terms of pricing. It could be more budget-friendly for small businesses or startups. However, the value it provides ultimately outweighs this minor drawback.

Easy to give references; helps kickstart the process and provides structure
Keep in mind I've only used this to write a requested references for friends. A lot of the time when asked to provide a reference, it can be hard to construct from scratch. Zinc made this really simply by providing direct questions and easy to access keywords to describe an individual. Furthermore, it creates questions ahead of time to help you really focus on communicating what is necessary.
CONSTyping experience is a bit strange (buggy?) - I found when pressing backspace to remove a letter after a new word and a space that it would also remove the space as well leading to a bit of a confusing typing experience at times.
