Choosing between Gyfted and Mercer Mettl

Gyfted assesses for role fit and values fit together rather than testing a single skill in isolation. The assessment suite covers Big Five personality, emotional intelligence and abstract reasoning, and feeds Culture Canvas, which maps how a candidate would fit the team they would actually join. Assessments are free for candidates, and Gyfted is priced as a monthly SaaS subscription based on organisation size rather than per test or per candidate. What each is for. Mettl is built for scale and integrity of administration: large candidate volumes, proctoring, campus and certification programmes, with a strong presence in India and APAC. Gyfted is built for the qualitative fit question on a much smaller number of hires.

When Mercer Mettl is the better choice. If you need invigilated, cheat-resistant testing — campus recruitment, certification, or any process where test security is the requirement — that is Mettl's core and Gyfted does not offer it.
