Pros

“Checkr is a very user-friendly tool that can assist organizations in running background checks in compliance with federal, local and state laws.”

Victoria W.

HR Generalist

“Their entire background check process is so easy for our internal team to initiate and manage, and also very quick and painless for our new hires.”

Tyra O.

People Operations Specialist II

“Prior to this integration, we were using Checkr as a standalone background check system and occasionally the checks would cost more than anticipated.”

Amber W.

VP of People Operations

Pros

“We have been with Zinc for 2 years now and won't look back - it gives both the TA and HR team transparency and regular updates and any issues that need to be addressed.”

Jed S.

Talent Acquisition Manager

“Zinc has been a great addition to our TA arsenal, its simple and easy to use and most importantly quick and compliant!”

Jed S.

Talent Acquisition Manager

“There are less options available to choose in the qualification check section for example: if any person with whose highest qualification is 12th standard, then what option he will choose it's a bit complicated.”

Vishal K.

AML KYC Analyst

Cons

“I only utilize Checkr for background checks, so it's hard for me to speak to cons since I'm not utilizing every resource the platform offers.”

Heather F.

HR Generalist

“One thing I like least about Checkr is the lack of real-time updates or clearer communication when delays happen in the background check process.”

Sara S.

Director of HR

“We have run into a few problems when it comes to billing and administrative pieces.”

Delicia B.

HR Supervisor

Cons

“The UI did not bring me back to the main menu where I could see the remaining items in the background check each time.”

Chris M.

Engineer

“Something that could be improved is the reference check option. When details are entered and a mistake is made, there is no option to edit the details entered and one would need to reach out to Zinc to have this updated, this could possibly delay the process.”

Carlin F.

Merchant Support Analyst

“Education check wouldn’t allow me to choose an exact date (DD/MM/YY), just month and year, and then it shows as a discrepancy when institution confirms the details.”

Tymon R.

Product Developer
