Case Study: Celebal Technologies achieves scalable, higher-quality campus recruitment with Mercer Mettl

Celebal Technologies - Customer Case Study

Celebal Technologies, a leading software services firm focused on data science, big data and cloud, needed to modernize and scale its campus recruitment—moving from 50–60 offline hires to a larger, location-agnostic talent pool during the pandemic. The company sought a partner to simplify technical hiring, evaluate coding skills on project-based real-world tasks, and provide secure proctoring with anti-cheating features. Celebal partnered with Mercer Mettl, using its coding assessments, Mercer Mettl I/O simulators and AI proctoring.

Mercer Mettl delivered a suite of domain tests, role-based simulators, configurable IDEs, plagiarism checks, SonarQube code analysis, AI proctoring and analytics dashboards to automate screening and provide actionable reports. The solution enabled 3,000–4,000 assessments a year (over 4,000 technical assessments to date), expanded outreach to 780+ students across 60+ campuses, achieved 80% automated shortlisting for technical interviews and reported a 99% success rate in hiring quality candidates—faster filling of critical roles and sustained campus hiring scalability thanks to Mercer Mettl.
