Case Study: Capgemini achieves a 7-day reduction in time-to-hire with Mercer Mettl

How Capgemini saved 7 days in Hiring the Right Candidate

Capgemini, a global IT services and consulting firm, faced an inefficient, non‑standardized hiring process that relied on offline tests and heavy manual evaluation for assessing 40 key skills up to the consultant (P3) level. To modernize screening at scale, Capgemini partnered with Mercer Mettl and adopted its online assessment platform — including coding simulators, skill-based question banks, webcam proctoring and real-time reporting — to standardize and automate evaluations.

Mercer Mettl’s solution delivered measurable impact: Capgemini reduced time-to-hire by 7 days, runs online tests roughly every 21 minutes, eliminated first-level (L1) interviews, and has completed over 42,000 assessments. With 39% of candidates passing the first round and 49% passing the final round, Mercer Mettl’s platform improved screening quality, freed expert interviewers for billable work, and enabled scalable, 24x7 recruitment drives.
