Zinc
Award-winning employee background checking software
Zinc is pre-employment background screening software for HR and recruiting teams, automating the collection and verification of candidate information so checks can be completed without manual admin. It covers criminal records, right to work, references, financial, social media, employment verification, CV comparison and qualification checks, with country-specific options across many markets and industry packages for regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare and education.
Candidates submit details from any device and receive status updates, while hiring teams monitor check progress, flagged results and downloadable reports from a unified dashboard. Zinc connects with ATS and HRIS platforms, including Humaans, and offers SSO, adjustable user-access levels, encryption and compliance support aligned with GDPR, FCRA, ISO 27001 and regulatory frameworks such as FCA, CQC and Ofsted. Support includes AI chat, a knowledge base and human assistance. Packaging is segmented by hiring volume: a self-serve option for smaller businesses, a pay-as-you-grow tier, SMB and enterprise plans, and international offerings for cross-border hiring, with sales contact for higher-volume needs.
