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. ----- ### "Couldn’t live without it" — 5.0/5 > **Claire** | *October 25, 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has saved an incredible amount of time for us as a team and we now have the confidence that we are always compliant > > **Cons**: Difficult to say we have just renewed with them and i didn’t have any suggestions on improvements because it does everything I need. > > From the start it’s been brilliant support with set up, training and integrations with our ATS ----- ### "User" — 5.0/5 > **Ramesh** | *March 1, 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The background checks are very quick and we know the status when it's really completed. > > **Cons**: I really don't have any issues while using the product.
