Mercer | Mettl’s technical assessments and coding simulator ‘Hack’ to address tech talent retention

 Hyderabad July 27, 2022: The Great Resignation has led to a massive shift in the workplace culture, which has fuelled attrition and talent depletion in the technology industry. Therefore, hiring and retaining the right talent is a challenge for HR leaders. As confirmed by industry reports, about 61% of HR professionals agree that hiring technology talent is the biggest conundrum of the year.  

Organizations looking for quick, reliable, data-backed hiring decisions can now turn to Mercer | Mettl’s suite of technical assessments and coding simulators — Hack. 

The presence of Hack in the Indian market also addresses another pain point of organizations i.e., skill-gap analysis. Given the churn that the global economies are experiencing, solving the skill-gap problem is another major task that lies ahead of assessors. A point highlighted by industry reports suggested that 58% of organizations are already analyzing the skill gap. With Hack's launch, organizations can map new skills and future roles. 

The context and nuance of tech hiring differ from non-technical hiring. Hack encapsulates this as it can define and map the learning process for upskilling and reskilling of tech talent. It can do this by offering a wide range of in-depth coding assessments and simulators to assess experienced tech talent in specific roles and technologies such as front-end development, back-end development, dev ops, data science, and more. Also, it supports state-of-the-art simulators for diverse skills and roles. Hack is specially designed to evaluate experienced developers in real-world projects, for specific roles in a familiar coding environment. It’s not just a recruitment solution, Hack also allows employee learning and development. 

Hack stacks are pre-integrated with AI-proctored talent evaluation platforms that can easily create questions. A real-time test environment is set up. The evaluations are monitored with robust anti-cheating features. Additionally, the auto-graded scoring environment allows automated standardized scoring of candidates, thereby automating the screening process. The result is credibility and greater efficiency in the hiring process.  

Speaking about Hack, Siddhartha Gupta, CEO, Mercer | Mettl said, “Today’s technology talent is selective and prefers to work for organisations that offer a substantial Employee Value Proposition. Through Hack, recruiters can increase the top of the hiring of the funnel and reduce hiring time. Moreover, it can give evaluators a comprehensive view of the candidate's ability. Hence, I believe that Hack will play a crucial role in retaining the crème of the industry, boosting employer branding, and it will drive innovation for a brighter, smarter future for the technology industry.” 

Tech skills are in constant flux. Therefore, there is a need to map tech talent skills in various fields and Hack enables this. It has one of the largest question banks of more than 1 Lakh+ technical questions. It can assess over 600 diverse skills, 10,000 sub-skills and supports over 50 languages. Hack has 7+ role-based simulators available which is the highest in the country. As hybrid work becomes a permanent feature, Hack offers employers the advantage of remote hiring and retaining high-tech talent.
