§ 05 - Editorial notes
Company overview
Mercer | Mettl is an online assessment and remote-proctoring platform founded in 2010 by Ketan Kapoor and Tonmoy Shingal in Gurgaon, India, and acquired by Mercer (part of Marsh McLennan) in October 2018. It provides a large library of psychometric, aptitude, coding, and behavioral assessments, structured and video interviews, and an AI-assisted proctoring suite (SecureProctor, Mettl Secure Browser) that uses webcam, audio, and screen monitoring to flag suspicious activity. The platform serves roughly 2,000 enterprise clients across 80+ countries for hiring, certification, and learning and development.
Regulatory exposure
As an assessment and AI-proctoring vendor scoring and screening candidates, Mercer | Mettl supplies tools that are likely high-risk AEDTs under NYC Local Law 144 and high-risk AI under the EU AI Act, and are in scope for Illinois and Colorado AI-hiring rules. The company publishes a solid information-security and GDPR posture (ISO 27001:2013, ISO 9001:2015, SOC 2 Type 2) and self-reported psychometric fairness claims (adverse-impact testing by age/gender/ethnicity, SIOP/EEOC/APA alignment), but no independent, downloadable NYC LL 144 bias audit, no ISO 42001 AI management certification, no FRIA or Art. 27 deployer guidance, and only general parent-company EU AI Act thought leadership rather than product-specific compliance documentation. Deployers therefore carry most of the public-disclosure and audit burden.
Path to a higher score
Mercer | Mettl could materially raise its score by commissioning and publicly posting an independent, downloadable NYC LL 144-style bias audit (auditor, date, intersectional impact ratios) and renewing it annually; publishing a model/system card or technical pack with an explainability statement for its proctoring and scoring AI; pursuing ISO 42001; releasing explicit EU AI Act deployer guidance and a FRIA template; documenting in-product human-oversight, override, and audit-log controls; and standing up a public status page and security/vulnerability-disclosure channel.

What applies to assessment ai.
Assessment is the most-regulated surface in AI hiring. NYC LL 144, EEOC and OFCCP frameworks, Illinois HB 3773, and EU AI Act Annex III §4 all apply, with overlap on bias-audit obligations.
