What is Mercer Mettl Assessments
Mercer | Mettl Assessments is a talent assessment platform used to evaluate candidates and employees through online tests, including aptitude, behavioral, and role-based technical assessments. It supports pre-employment screening and internal talent development use cases, with options for remote proctoring and test integrity controls. The product is commonly used by HR, talent acquisition, and L&D teams to standardize evaluation and compare candidates at scale. It can be deployed alongside recruiting workflows and, in some configurations, combined with video interviewing processes.
Broad assessment test library
The platform covers multiple assessment types, including cognitive aptitude, personality/behavioral, and domain-specific technical tests. This breadth supports different hiring scenarios, from early-stage screening to role-based evaluation. It reduces the need to stitch together separate tools for different test formats compared with products that focus primarily on interviewing or ATS workflows.
Remote proctoring and integrity
Mercer | Mettl includes features aimed at reducing cheating risk in remote assessments, such as proctoring options and test security controls. These capabilities support distributed hiring and campus recruiting where in-person testing is impractical. It is particularly relevant for high-volume screening where manual oversight is limited.
Enterprise-ready assessment operations
The product is designed for structured assessment programs, including standardized scoring and reporting for decision support. It fits organizations that need repeatable processes across roles, locations, or business units. This orientation complements recruiting systems by providing a dedicated assessment layer rather than relying only on interview feedback.
Not a full ATS replacement
Mercer | Mettl focuses primarily on assessments rather than end-to-end recruiting workflow management. Organizations typically still need an applicant tracking system for requisitions, pipeline management, and offer/onboarding processes. Integrations may be required to avoid manual movement of candidate data between systems.
Video interviewing is secondary
While it can be used in hiring workflows that include video interviewing, the product’s core strength is testing and assessment rather than interview scheduling and structured interview management. Teams seeking advanced video interview features (e.g., interview kits, collaborative evaluation workflows, or high-volume interview scheduling) may need an additional specialized tool. This can increase vendor count and administration effort.
Setup and validation effort
Role-based assessments often require configuration, benchmarking, and stakeholder alignment to ensure tests map to job requirements. Organizations may need time to calibrate cut scores, interpret reports, and train hiring teams on consistent usage. This can slow initial rollout compared with simpler screening approaches.
