The Interview Plan defines which assessments candidates complete after applying. It combines AI-assessed text forms, live AI calls, and optional video responses to evaluate candidates across multiple dimensions. Mokka's AI interview service accesses a rich set of contextual data for each role, including content from uploaded files, fetched URLs, and the role's title and description, to inform its assessments.
📝 What’s Included
Introduction interview (Live AI call, AI-assessed)
The default interview type. Mokka AI gathers additional evidence on the role's screening criteria through natural conversation with the candidate. Questions are tailored to each candidate based on their profile and the role — comparable to a recruiter phone screen. Enabled by default for new roles.
SMART outcomes interview (Form, AI-assessed)
Each SMART outcome you set in Screening Criteria becomes a question. Candidates share a concrete past example for each. AI scores responses against that outcome.
Career Progression & Performance (Form, Relative ranking)
Candidates reflect on past achievements and growth. AI evaluates progression and consistency, benchmarked against peers.
Personal Intro (Optional video, no AI assessment)
Short video response for cultural fit and communication style. Recruiters review manually.
Custom Interview (Live AI call, AI-assessed)
Add your own questions or topics.
Mokka AI generates structured interview segments with built-in evaluation guidelines and AI scoring.
Example: Angular Development, Front-end Performance, AI-Assisted Development.
Candidates speak with Mokka AI, responses are transcribed and scored using the same evaluation model as text forms.
🎙️ Recording and retries
Live AI calls (Introduction interview, Custom Interview) are real-time conversations with Mokka AI — not one-way video recordings. Candidates speak with the AI in turn-by-turn dialogue. There are no retries or re-recordings: each session is a single conversation, similar to a recruiter phone screen. This applies to the Introduction interview and to every Custom Interview segment.
Forms (SMART outcomes, Career Progression) let candidates edit their answers within the same session before submitting. The Personal Intro video is one-shot per the candidate-facing flow.
⚖️ How Scoring Works
All interview blocks feed into Accomplishments Score, one of the three main components of the final candidate score.
Scoring factors are always the same:
• Aligned (fit to role requirements/goals)
• Direct role (candidate’s own involvement)
• Measurable (use of data, outcomes)
• Specific (methods, tools, clarity)
Live calls and forms use the same AI evaluation model. The only difference: spoken answers skip “hypothetical” checks since transcripts reflect real speech.
Custom AI interview segments are always scored using the guidelines generated for them.
⚙️ Best Practices
Keep it focused – 3–5 interview segments per role give enough signal without overwhelming candidates.
Set strong SMART outcomes — they ARE the SMART outcomes interview. Each outcome becomes a candidate question and an AI-scored rubric. Vague outcomes produce vague signal.
Balance forms and calls – Forms work well for written detail, calls show thinking and communication in real time.
Always review AI scores with context – AI provides structured evaluations, but final hiring decisions stay with recruiters.
