We literally couldn't work without it\! Couldn't be happier that we found cotap\! ----- ### "Overall Experience with Zinc" — 5.0/5 > **Tilly** | *11 October 2024* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: My overall experience with DocuSign has been excellent. It saves me so much time not having to chase people for references. I also appreciate that it integrates with Hibob, which further streamlines the process by eliminating the need to upload documents and references manually. Additionally, the right to work checks are efficient and quick, making the entire process much smoother > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Zinc is that once a reference contact has been submitted, there doesn’t seem to be an option for the employee to update that information. This can be a bit inconvenient if there are changes or errors in the contact details. > > My overall experience with Zinc has been quite positive. The platform is user-friendly and streamlines the process of managing references efficiently. However, one downside is that once a reference contact has been submitted, employees can't update that information. This can be inconvenient if there are changes or errors. Despite this, Zinc has helped improve our workflow and has made it easier to manage reference checks. ----- ### "Great product" — 4.0/5 > **Timmy** | *1 September 2020* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its Easy to use and navigator, and it has some cool features. > > **Cons**: The Price was a bit high after all, but still i havent tried it out completely though > > Cool design ----- ### "bon logiciel bureautique" — 4.0/5 > **Romeo Urbain** | *21 January 2023* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: excellent logiciel pour le travail en équipe, facile à utiliser, sécurisé et confidentiel il vous aide dans la gestion de documents et la communication en collaboration. possède une fabuleuse administration dans l'application > > **Cons**: j'ai pas encore trouvé de défauts aux logiciel > > facile d'utilisation et comprends beaucoup de fonctions, excellent service client, permet de mener des entrevues par ordinateur ----- ### "Really easy to use\!" — 5.0/5 > **Amie** | *9 September 2020* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I found Zinc really intuitive and easy to use\!
