We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our sophisticated algorithm, which leverages advanced technology to identify copied material, ensuring that the submissions we evaluate reflect genuine understanding and original thought.
“Web Sense” utilizes state-of-the-art techniques to analyze the code submitted by candidates. It examines the structure, context, and phrasing of the content, comparing it to existing web material. By employing advanced matching algorithms, Web Sense can detect not only direct copying but also instances of paraphrasing and subtle rewording.
When a submission is evaluated using Web Sense, the candidate’s report includes a plagiarism score, indicating the percentage of content that matches online sources, along with the link to the website where the maximum match is detected. This score helps evaluators understand the originality of the work.
For an organization like Mercer Mettl, that works with multiple influential and high impact customer, we always strive to present the best content. In this endeavor, we’ve built a communication system to inform customers about the frequent updates to Mercer Mettl’s content.
Our teams work tirelessly to keep updating the latest content and getting rid of the content that has been exposed. We will now be informing you customers, on a monthly basis of the updates that we make to the assessments that you are using.
Post an email communication, certain questions would be archiving withing the next few weeks of the email. This measure is intended to ensure that our assessments reflect up-to-date skills and contain original content.
Don’t you worry, you may continue to use the existing assessments without any changes. However, please note the following for better clarity on how this will impact you and your assessments:
- While existing assessments can remain as they are, we recommend updating them with the latest skills and questions from our inventory. A complete replacement for the archived questions and skills would be available in the Mettl questions inventory.
- If there are no test takers for the assessment, you may edit the composition of the existing assessment itself.
- The archived skills and questions will not be available to be added to any assessment.
- If there are test takers for the assessment, please create a duplicate of the assessment before editing the composition. The duplicated assessment will not include the archived skills and questions, that were earlier part of the original assessment.
- You can view the assessments that will be affected, from the assessment dashboard (“My Tests” page).
- Each email will also have a button for “My Tests” that will take you to view the assessments that would be impacted due to the archival activity.
- To identify the specific skills impacted, please review the assessment composition, by opening the assessment.

We are thrilled to announce the integration of “Assessment Centers” and “Feedback Surveys”. This powerful combination is designed to provide organizations with a unified and holistic approach to talent evaluation, bringing more value and efficiency to their assessment processes.
Here is a brief on what’s new.
Integrated Reporting
Scores and feedback from surveys can now be seamlessly incorporated into Assessment Center’s comprehensive reports.
The integrated reports can highlight key strengths, developmental areas, and actionable recommendations, combining assessment metrics and peer feedback, giving decision makers a complete picture of participant’s potential. This streamlined reporting aims to enhance clarity, reduce the need for manual data collation, and ensure consistency across all evaluation metrics.
Streamlined Participant Experience
Similar to tasks like tests, interviews or group discussions, participants can now access feedback survey tasks from right inside their Assessment Center’s dashboards.
The integration ensures a smoother process for participants, allowing them to complete pre-works, assessment day activities and now surveys in a single, cohesive workflow. This aims to reduce redundancy and enhance engagement.
Assessment Center participants will be able to self-nominate feedback providers, approve providers as well as provide the actual feedback directly from their dashboard. Peers who are not participating in the assessment center will be able to do the same via the links shared with them over email.
Strategic Benefits
- Comprehensive Talent Evaluation: Combining assessment scores with subjective, real-world feedback creates a complete view of an individual’s performance. Organizations can identify both immediate potential and long-term developmental needs with greater precision.
- Holistic Employee Development: By integrating feedback surveys into assessment centers, organizations can support more tailored development plans that align feedback with actionable goals.
