Great customer support team. > > **Cons**: The AI did mistake the design on the page of a passport for an additional letter, though the customer support team was quick to help out, and resolved the issue in no time. ----- ### "Simple, Transparent, Easy ROI, & Built for Speed" — 5.0/5 > **Jed** | *17 June 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zinc has been a great addition to our TA arsenal, its simple and easy to use and most importantly quick and compliant\! The cost is the best we have checked against the market and the speed in the service (even for international) is very impressive\! > > **Cons**: Nothing so far, we have had it for 2 years and never had any reason to change to another system - it integrates seamlessly into our ATS aswell > > 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. ----- ### "Frustrating Experience with Poor Support and High Costs" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 August 2025* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Zinc was the speed—it made the whole process feel smooth and efficient, which I really appreciated. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Zinc was the customer service experience when something goes wrong. If an issue is referred to the technical team, you often don’t hear back—even after multiple follow-ups. The wait times can be lengthy, and it can feel quite frustrating when you're trying to resolve something quickly. > > My overall experience with Zinc has been mainly negative, largely due to poor customer service. When issues arise, responses are slow or sometimes nonexistent—especially when queries are referred to the technical team. This has caused frustration for new starters and led to a poor onboarding experience. Additionally, the service is quite pricey considering the challenges we've faced. ----- ### "The best Automated BGV tool ever" — 5.0/5 > **Vishal** | *2 February 2024* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple to use and least time consuming with smooth interface. > > **Cons**: 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. Kindly provide some specific options to those whose highest qualification is 12th pass or they are pursuing their Graduation degree That's all. > > The experience was up to the mark and I enjoyed it while using. ----- ### "Quick and easy" — 5.0/5 > **Lizette** | *7 August 2023* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The turnaround time for check results to come back, is very quick. > > **Cons**: At present one can only ask for a professional or HR reference, i.e. there is no option to ask for both to be checked for the same candidate. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/284930/zinc?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/284930/zinc) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
