What Mercer | Mettl is

Mercer | Mettl provides online tools for talent assessment, recruitment, learning and development, exams, certifications, and remote proctoring. Founded in 2010, it serves organizations making talent acquisition and development decisions. Teams can build assessments for pre-hire screening, candidate skills, employee or student development, certification exams, and contests. Assessment options include skills, cognitive, personality, behavioral, and job-fit evaluation, with custom assessments, advanced reporting, and benchmarking.

For remote exams, its proctoring suite combines AI-assisted monitoring with human proctoring for high-stakes tests. Three-point candidate authentication and browser lockdown are available, and its Secure Browser restricts access to other websites and blocked software during a test. REST APIs support assessment access links, candidate registration, and result sharing; question creation takes place in the account, though teams can assemble runtime assessments from questions they have created. Listed integrations include Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Workable, and Zoho Recruit.

The security page states ISO 27001:2013, ISO 9001, and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. Data is hosted on AWS, with localized storage available in Europe, China, and India. Network protection is described as HTTPS with 256-bit SSL encryption and TLS 1.2 or above.
