Case Study: Leading Financial Institution achieves secure, fast, cost-effective hiring of 700 technical hires with Mercer Mettl

Hiring for entry-level and mid-level profiles across four key locations within India

Leading Financial Institution, a banking and insurance provider operating across 16 countries, faced high-volume technical hiring for entry- and mid-level roles across four locations in India. The organization needed to hire 700 employees with niche skills but relied on slow, costly pen-and-paper assessments and lacked a skills bank and a secure platform; Mercer Mettl was engaged to modernize the assessment process.

Mercer Mettl implemented web‑proctored online technical assessments covering 40+ skills with customized content mapped to the company’s competency framework, providing a secure and reliable assessment platform. Mercer Mettl’s solution digitized the recruitment process, improved candidate experience, substantially cut costs and time-to-hire for the 700 positions, and saved significant interviewer hours by delivering a filtered pool of qualified candidates.
