A Quick Look at Ashby:
Ashby is a modern, all-in-one ATS platform for fast-growing companies, offering recruiting workflow management, analytics, scheduling, and AI-powered features. Ashby markets AI as "embedded in every layer" of their platform, with capabilities like an AI Notetaker (in beta) for interview transcription and AI-assisted analytics. The platform emphasizes end-to-end recruiting automation, reporting depth, and integration ecosystem for managing your entire hiring process.
The Mokka Difference:
Ashby is an excellent ATS that manages your recruiting workflow. Mokka integrates with Ashby to add the deep screening intelligence that workflow management systems—even those with AI features—cannot provide on their own.
- Mokka Complements Ashby: We love working with Ashby customers. Ashby is your system of record for managing candidates through your pipeline. Mokka is your screening intelligence layer that determines who enters that pipeline and why—providing evidence-based evaluation that goes far beyond resume analysis.
- Workflow Management vs. Evidence-Based Screening: Ashby excels at managing recruiting workflows, analytics, scheduling, and pipeline stages. Mokka excels at pre-screening interviews that generate new evidence—collecting accomplishment examples, measurable outcomes, and verifiable claims that don't exist on resumes or in Ashby's database.
- AI Notetaker vs. AI Pre-Screener: Ashby's AI Notetaker captures insights from recruiter-led interviews. Mokka's AI conducts the pre-screening interview itself before any recruiter involvement—automating the tedious data collection phase so your team only invests time in candidates backed by verified evidence.
- Resume Analysis vs. Multi-Source Verification: Even with AI features, ATS platforms primarily analyze resume content and application data. Mokka cross-checks every pre-screening response against resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and third-party sources through our Profile and Answer Integrity analytics—detecting AI-generated applications and inconsistencies.
- System of Record vs. Screening Depth: Ashby is the perfect system of record for your recruiting operations. Mokka provides the screening depth that populates Ashby with rich, evidence-based candidate profiles—giving hiring managers reviewable evidence beyond "resume looked good."
- Built-in AI Features vs. Dedicated Screening Platform: Ashby adds helpful AI features to workflow management. Mokka is purpose-built exclusively for evidence-based screening—with structured interviews, accomplishment probing, integrity verification, and recruiter-controlled evaluation criteria that ATS platforms cannot match.
Key Questions to Consider:
- How does your ATS's AI verify that candidates actually accomplished what they claim on resumes beyond analyzing keywords and formatting?
- When candidates use AI to optimize resumes perfectly for your job descriptions, how do you differentiate genuine qualifications from well-crafted documents?
- What pre-screening happens before candidates enter your ATS pipeline—are you manually reviewing every resume, or do you have automated, evidence-based evaluation?
- How deeply does your current screening process verify accomplishments, check for integrity issues, or enrich candidate profiles before recruiters invest time?
- Can you integrate a dedicated screening platform like Mokka with Ashby to get best-of-breed screening depth while keeping Ashby as your workflow system of record?
