Case Study: National Life and General Insurance Company (NLG) achieves higher-quality IT hires and faster recruitment with Mercer | Mettl

How Mercer | Mettl equipped NLG with the right set of tools to hire quality candidates

National Life and General Insurance Company (NLG), a leading insurance provider in Oman, was expanding regionally and struggling to hire IT candidates who could translate interview performance into real‑world job effectiveness. After multi‑stage screening still produced hires who underperformed on practical tasks, NLG sought a partner to deliver dynamic, role‑specific technical assessments and chose Mercer Mettl’s coding assessment and simulator solutions.

Mercer Mettl implemented a three‑layered assessment suite—DBLysis (database), Frontend Simulator and Codelysis (backend)—backed by AI proctoring, plagiarism checks, auto‑grading, code playback and detailed reporting. The solution fully digitized NLG’s technical recruitment, sped up hiring through automated grading and scalable testing, provided evidence‑based insights into candidate strengths and weaknesses, and led to a significant improvement in the quality of hires, with NLG continuing to use Mercer Mettl’s tools.
