Cena ZINC (ZINC)

Zinc is an automated background checking platform that operates on the blockchain. The platform aims to establish new standards for background checks, allowing users to request checks directly from their applicant tracking system (ATS). Zinc collects checks and data from previous employers and government institutions and analyzes the data to fulfill requests. The platform seeks to provide end-to-end automation, offering fast and flexible checks, while ensuring transparency for all candidates being checked.

Zinc aims to provide comprehensive background checks covering data points such as work history, skills, and right to work. The platform also provides location-specific mandatory and regulatory checks. The tool Zinc offers seeks to solve the problems employers face while scaling the business in terms of hiring candidates. Zinc claims that the tool can process and deliver requests covering all data points on the same day.

The platform's native cryptocurrency is ZINC, which is used to pay for services and also pays referees 30 ZINC tokens for every valid reference they provide. The referees can withdraw these tokens from the platform after providing at least three valid references.

Zinc was founded in 2017 by Charlotte Hall and Luke Shipley. The team includes Alexandra Kelly, the former MD for the EMEA region at HireRight. Zinc's goal is to help employers enhance their brand by using due diligence and sophisticated technology to modernize their background checking programs.
