The Mokka Difference:
Endorsed focuses on rapid resume screening at massive scale with fraud detection. Mokka focuses on evidence-based pre-screening through structured interviews that generate new, verifiable data rather than just analyzing existing resumes faster.
- Resume Analysis vs. Evidence Generation: Endorsed screens resumes and detects fabricated claims using their "FraudShield" across existing documents. Mokka conducts structured pre-screening interviews that generate new evidence of accomplishments—going beyond what's written on a resume to collect verifiable, specific examples you can review.
- Speed Claims vs. Depth of Verification: Endorsed advertises "1,000 profiles every 20 seconds" processing speed. Mokka prioritizes thorough multi-source verification (resume + LinkedIn + pre-screening interview + third-party data)—ensuring candidates aren't just quickly sorted, but deeply validated before advancing.
- Fraud Detection Focus vs. Integrity Analytics: Endorsed's FraudShield detects fabricated resume claims. Mokka's Profile and Answer Integrity analytics go further—cross-checking pre-screening responses against resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and detecting AI-generated interview answers, not just resume fraud.
- Skills-First Screening vs. Evidence-Based Accomplishments: Endorsed emphasizes "skills-first evaluation" from resume data. Mokka probes for specific, measurable accomplishments with concrete evidence—differentiating between candidates who list skills and those who can demonstrate impact through verifiable achievements.
- Per-Job Pricing vs. Unlimited Applications: Endorsed's $299/month Pro plan includes 3 jobs, with custom pricing for more. Mokka's seat-based pricing includes unlimited job requisitions and unlimited applications—encouraging you to screen every role and every candidate without budget anxiety.
- Sourcing + Screening vs. Screening Depth: Endorsed offers AI sourcing across 28+ data sources alongside screening. Mokka is laser-focused on screening your existing applicant pipeline with maximum depth and integrity verification—integrating with your ATS as the primary system of record.
- Bias Auditing vs. Recruiter-Controlled Requirements: Endorsed emphasizes post-hoc bias auditing of AI decisions. Mokka puts recruiters in control upfront—comprehensive intake with explicit requirement prioritization (critical/must-have/nice-to-have) ensures screening criteria reflect your team's values before any AI evaluation begins.
- Chrome Extension Convenience vs. ATS-Native Integration: Endorsed offers a Chrome extension for in-ATS fraud detection. Mokka integrates bi-directionally with your ATS at a deeper level—posting rich candidate profiles directly into your system and syncing all decisions seamlessly.
Key Questions to Consider:
- After AI screens 1,000 resumes in 20 seconds, how do you verify the top candidates actually accomplished what they claim beyond detecting obvious fabrications?
- What happens when a candidate has a legitimate but unusual career path that doesn't fit typical resume patterns—does rapid AI screening flag them as fraudulent?
- How does per-job pricing impact your willingness to screen all roles versus cherry-picking high-priority positions?
- When "bias-audited" AI makes a decision, can hiring managers see the specific evidence that drove the recommendation, or just aggregate scores?
- How does AI sourcing from 750M profiles differ from candidates who specifically chose to apply to your company? Are marketplace candidates more or less engaged?
- What's the candidate experience when AI screens their resume in seconds—do they feel evaluated or just sorted?
