The Mokka Difference:
Lily focuses exclusively on phone-based screening conversations. Mokka offers candidates choice of text, voice, or video with comprehensive multi-source verification—supporting broader accessibility while building deeper evidence profiles.
- Phone-Only vs. Multi-Modal Accessibility: Lily conducts automated phone screenings with structured questions. Mokka gives candidates the choice of text, voice, or video responses with no time pressure—supporting candidates uncomfortable with phone calls, those with hearing impairments, speech difficulties, or non-native speakers who prefer written communication.
- Conversation Capture vs. Evidence Verification: Lily captures interview insights from phone conversations. Mokka goes further—cross-checking every response against resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and third-party data through our Profile and Answer Integrity analytics to verify claims and detect AI-generated answers.
- Automated Questions vs. Recruiter-Verified Requirements: Lily's structured phone dialogues follow predefined question sets. Mokka begins with comprehensive recruiter intake where your team explicitly reviews and approves detailed requirements (critical/must-have/nice-to-have, caps, weighting) before any candidate is assessed—ensuring screening reflects your team's actual priorities.
- Phone Conversation Logs vs. Rich Evidence Profiles: Lily provides interview insights from phone calls. Mokka creates comprehensive evidence profiles combining pre-screening interview responses, accomplishment examples with metrics, LinkedIn verification, resume cross-checks, and integrity flags—giving hiring managers reviewable evidence beyond conversation summaries.
- Single-Channel Screening vs. Multi-Source Enrichment: Lily analyzes what candidates say during phone calls. Mokka enriches every profile with multiple data sources (resume + LinkedIn + pre-screening interview + third-party verification)—creating a 360-degree view that reveals what a single phone conversation cannot.
- Human-Centered Positioning vs. Candidate-Friendly Experience: Lily emphasizes preserving human decision-making in hiring. Mokka achieves this while also optimizing the candidate experience—4.7/5 satisfaction rating with 40-90% completion rates because candidates can choose their preferred communication method and work without time pressure.
Key Questions to Consider:
- When candidates respond to automated phone screening questions, how do you verify those answers aren't rehearsed or influenced by someone coaching them off-screen?
- What happens if a candidate has a hearing impairment, speech difficulty, or is in a loud environment during the scheduled phone screening—are alternative formats offered?
- How are phone conversation insights verified against resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and third-party data to detect inconsistencies or AI-generated prep?
- What's the candidate experience for non-native speakers or those who communicate more effectively in writing than speaking spontaneously?
- Can hiring managers access actual phone conversation transcripts with full context, or only summarized "insights"?
- How does phone-only screening impact completion rates compared to offering candidates their choice of communication method?
