Who we are

Zinc builds automated reference and background checking tools for forward-thinking companies that really care about candidate experience. Founded in 2017, Zinc has a unique approach to background checking, that's redefining industry standards. We're an early-stage startup going through rapid growth. Zinc's founding team have spent years in recruitment, talent, and HRTech. We saw a field plagued with inefficiency, prejudice and a lack of transparency. We first sought to solve the burden of referencing, then sought to tackle the broader category of background checking.

One which is quick, easy, and productive for every party. A process enabling candidates to own their data, and companies to access the unbiased insights they need. We're proud to be helping some of the most iconic employer brands in the UK hire. Read what our customers say about Zinc: zincwork.com/customers
