A Quick Look at HireVue:
HireVue is an enterprise platform for video interviewing, assessments, and hiring automation; it acquired Modern Hire in 2023, consolidating a large assessment + virtual job tryout portfolio under one roof. Historically, HireVue discontinued facial-expression analysis in 2021 after scrutiny, while maintaining science-based assessments and interview analytics.
The Mokka Difference:
- No face/voice inference: Mokka does not assess facial expressions or paralinguistics; we focus on verifiable achievements collected through structured pre-screens and external signals—designed to be auditable and candidate-friendly.
- Fast setup vs. enterprise programs: HireVue excels at enterprise I/O-backed assessments and large configurations; Mokka aims for 5-minute off-the-shelf activation with strong ATS flow-through, ideal when you need immediate screening coverage without heavy program design.
- Budget predictability: Mokka's seat-based model avoids per-interview volatility common in traditional video-interview tooling.
Key Questions to Consider:
- Do you need full-blown assessments—or faster, fairer pre-screens that generate auditable evidence and plug into your ATS?
- How will your team review/defend decisions (records, scoring logic, explainability) if audited under laws like NYC Local Law 144 or EU AI Act?
- What's the change-management cost to stand up enterprise assessments vs. a lighter, recruiter-led screen?
