Case Study: Masai School scales interviews and saves 15,000 hours a year with Mercer | Mettl

Simplifying and scaling hiring effortlessly

Masai School, an outcome-driven career school in India training thousands of students for IT jobs, faced a need to expand its question bank, implement a secure cheat‑proof proctoring solution, scale a labor‑intensive interview process, accurately assess spoken English, determine reliable cut‑off scores, and use a highly customizable assessment platform. To meet these requirements Masai partnered with Mercer Mettl, adopting Mercer Mettl’s online proctoring platform and SpeechX speaking assessment.

Mercer Mettl co‑created a customizable solution combining its remote proctoring platform, extensive test library and CEFR‑based SpeechX assessments. The implementation delivered measurable impact: about 15 minutes saved per interview per assessment (roughly 15,000 hours saved annually), enabled scaling interviews up to ~1 lakh (1,000x) with minimal manual intervention, provided accurate cut‑off scoring, and ensured secure, cheat‑proof examinations; API integration also allowed seamless test delivery on Masai’s site.
