The Mettl alternative that gives you answers, not a test library.
Mettl is a broad test catalogue. 5Profiler is a decision engine: six instruments in one sitting, five fits against your role, and three answers — perform, fit, stay — with evidence a panel can defend.

A verdict engine, not a catalogue
Buying tests is easy. Turning six test scores into one defensible hiring answer — benchmarked against your own organisation — is the hard part, and it’s the part we built.
- Answers over scores — perform, fit and stay resolved per candidate — never a raw percentile dump.
- Your benchmark, not ours — values and culture scored against your declared values and your real team.
- Interviews included — structured interviews with AI-drafted, human-approved rubrics on the same record.
- Stay measured — forced-choice work values matched to what the role provides — the attrition answer nobody else scores.

Questions we always get
Can we run 5Profiler alongside Mettl first?
Yes — that’s the recommended path. Parallel-run a pilot on one live role and compare the reports your panel actually gets, in ninety days, including who stayed.
Do you cover proctoring like Mettl does?
Yes — tiered live proctoring with ID checks, a dual-camera side view from the candidate’s phone and a lockdown-browser tier, with evidence attached to every flag. Included, never metered per exam.
How fast is migration?
A pilot is live inside a week. Role templates build from your job descriptions; your question banks can be imported with automated quality checks.
