Global wealth and talent management consultancy Mercer has entered the rapidly growing talent assessment market in India through the acquisition of cloud-based tech and talent management firm Mettl, based out of Gurgaon. Mettl also has a presence in the US and German markets.

Founded in 2009 in the National Capital Region (NCR) of India, Mettl is a specialised consulting firm that offers services in a broad range of domains. The firm lays specific emphasis on its evaluative capabilities, conducting investment in the areas of recruitment, training and development.

The firm also has a firm grounding in the IT sphere, delving into the world of cloud-based solutions, certification management software, hackathons and a number of other software as a service (SaaS) applications. In addition to its presence in Gurgaon, Mettl has offices in California and Stuttgart.

Mettl has now been acquired by global health and wealth management consultancy Mercer – a firm that is hoping to substantiate its talent management practice with capabilities in talent assessment. Mercer will now be able to advise clients on their talent strategies based on in-depth evaluation and analysis.
