Background-checks

With manual admin, too-long turnaround times, and clunky platforms, background checks have been stuck in the past for too long. Zinc’s here to change that with lightning-fast results, automation-first checks and a platform you’ll actually enjoy using.

The checks we offer

You have better things to do than spending hours of the day on background checking admin.

Zinc takes it off your plate, from document collection to chasing references, and provides real-time updates along the way.

Build your own check packages or use our pre-built ones to make sure you’re hiring with confidence and staying compliant across any of the 190+ countries we support.

Once you’ve sent your checks, Zinc helps you put your best foot forward. Our mobile-first platform makes it easy for candidates to complete their checks quickly and securely re-use their information. If they’ve got questions, they can hop on a
live chat with our London-based support team instead of clogging up your inbox.

When results are ready, they’ll get sent to your Zinc dashboard or directly to Pinpoint.
