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!”

“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.”

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.”
CM

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.”
CF

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.”
