Mettl Review

Depends

Should I use Mettl?

English - mettl.com

· 2 weeks ago

Buy if you run high-volume hiring, campus recruitment, or proctored exams and have HR bandwidth to manage it. Skip it if you hire a few people a year — cheaper, self-serve assessment tools fit better.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Quote-based pricing: no per-test checkout; confirm overage and annual-commitment terms in the contract

medium

Candidates must install Mettl's browser; Reddit reports install failures causing missed exams

medium

Rivals publish transparent per-candidate pricing; Mettl's opacity slows vendor comparison
