How to Connect Mokka with Lever

Step-by-step guide to integrating Mokka's AI-powered screening and pre-interviews
with your Lever recruitment workflow.

Integration Guide • Updated April 2026 • 7 min read

Overview

Mokka deploys AI agents that source candidates from 850M+ profiles and screen every applicant with text, voice, or video pre-interviews — so recruiters get interview-ready candidates without spending time on top-of-funnel work. Rated 4.7/5 by 100,000+ candidates.

When connected to Lever, Mokka:

  • Sources passive candidates and adds them to your Lever pipeline
  • Screens every applicant with AI-powered evaluation
  • Conducts pre-interviews via text, voice, or video
  • Generates candidate rankings with explainable scores
  • Syncs evaluations back to Lever automatically
  • Enables rejection workflow directly from Mokka

Prerequisites

Before connecting, you'll need:

  1. A Mokka account - Sign up at gomokka.com
  2. Admin access in Lever - needed once, during the one-click OAuth authorization (Super Admin is NOT required — any Admin role works)
How to Connect Your Lever Account
  1. In Mokka, open Settings → Integrations and click Connect Lever
  2. You'll be redirected to Lever's secure OAuth authorization page
  3. Sign in to Lever with your Admin account if not already signed in
  4. Review the permissions Mokka is requesting (read applications, stages, and archive reasons; write notes, stage moves, and webhooks)
  5. Click Accept to grant access — Mokka never sees or stores your Lever password
  6. You'll land back in Mokka with the integration live

For more on how Lever's OAuth flow works, see the official Lever OAuth documentation. Access tokens are refreshed automatically — no manual rotation needed.

Setup Steps

1
Open Mokka Settings
  1. Log into your Mokka account
  2. Go to Settings → Integrations
  3. Find Lever in the list of available integrations
2
Authorize Lever
  1. Click Connect Lever
  2. You'll be redirected to Lever's secure authorization page
  3. Review the requested permissions and click Accept
  4. You'll be redirected back to Mokka — setup complete
3
Select Jobs to Sync
  1. After connecting, you'll see your Lever jobs
  2. Select which jobs you want Mokka to screen candidates for
  3. Click Enable Screening
That's it!

Mokka will now automatically sync and score candidates from your selected Lever jobs.

What Syncs Between Systems

Lever → Mokka
  • Opportunities (Lever's candidate-application model)
  • Postings / Jobs
  • Pipeline stages
  • Archive reasons
  • Tags
Mokka → Lever
  • Stage moves (when screening outcome matches a configured Lever stage)
  • Notes with Mokka's AI evaluation and pre-interview results
  • Archive action with the selected archive reason
  • Real-time updates via Lever webhooks

Sync Frequency:

  • Initial sync: All existing candidates are synced when you connect
  • Ongoing sync: New candidates are synced automatically (typically within minutes)

Using the Rejection Feature

One of the key benefits of the Mokka-Lever integration is the ability to reject candidates directly from Mokka.

To Reject a Candidate:
  1. Open the candidate in Mokka
  2. Review their AI-generated score and summary
  3. Click Reject
  4. Select a rejection reason (synced from Lever)
  5. Click Confirm

The rejection is automatically synced back to Lever, including the rejection reason you selected.

Rejection Reasons:

Mokka uses your existing Lever rejection reasons. To add or modify rejection reasons:

  1. Go to Lever → Settings → General
  2. Open Archive reasons
  3. Add or edit reasons as needed
  4. Mokka will sync the updated reasons automatically

Troubleshooting

"Authorization failed" after clicking Connect Lever
  • Make sure your Lever user has the Admin role (Standard User can't authorize partner integrations)
  • If your org uses SSO, complete SSO sign-in before returning to Mokka
  • Try again in a private/incognito window to rule out a stale cookie
Candidates not syncing from Lever
  • Verify the posting is enabled for screening in Mokka
  • Confirm the candidate has an application (not just a contact) on the posting — Lever only surfaces Opportunities to us
  • Wait 1-2 minutes for the webhook to propagate, or trigger a manual re-sync from Mokka
Mokka's note or stage move didn't appear in Lever
  • Ensure the Mokka screening workflow has finished (notes only post after the final verdict)
  • Check that the mapped Lever stage still exists — stages deleted in Lever will fail silently
  • Reconnect the integration in Mokka if you recently changed OAuth scopes in Lever
