Moka Eva cut per-store time-to-hire from 15.4 days to 3.8 at a 20,000-location chain. Cost per application fell 60%; manual intervention dropped more than 80%.
Moka AI said its AI recruiting agent, Moka Eva, cut per-store time-to-hire from 15.4 days to 3.8 days at an international coffee and tea chain with more than 20,000 locations. The drop is about 75%. The chain runs its full recruiting process through the agent. Moka Eva sources candidates, screens applications, calls applicants to confirm interest, then runs AI interviews and assessments before sending shortlists to decision-makers. Cost per application fell 60% and manual intervention fell more than 80% compared with the pre-AI process.
Moka Eva applies one rubric to screening and interviews, so the same standard holds across locations. Moka AI said the agent's results align with human reviewers more than 92% of the time. The agent is built for enterprises with distributed hiring operations.
The same standardized approach can run through messaging apps. A global sportswear and sporting goods retailer in Southeast Asia uses Moka Eva to screen candidates and book interviews entirely over WhatsApp, a setup that Moka AI said saves the recruiting team 685 hours a month.
"Speed is the visible part. The real problem is that the same role gets judged differently in every location," said Guoxing Li, co-founder and CEO of Moka AI. "An agent that applies one standard across 20,000 locations makes the outcome measurable, and measurable is what enterprises are now asking us for."
"We chose Moka AI because it has significantly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of our recruitment process," said Ms. Li, group co-founder and group CHRO of Advance Intelligence Group. "Its seamless integration with LinkedIn and Lark makes requisition management and interview scheduling much easier."
Moka AI said the results come as HR leaders look for hard numbers on AI hiring tools. It joined a roundtable at the World HR Summit in Kuala Lumpur in July and hosted a booth at the JobsDB by SEEK HR Conference in Hong Kong on Aug. 7.
Aon's Human Capital Trends 2026 Study found 74% of organizations in the Asia-Pacific have deployed or are piloting AI programs. KPMG's Q2 2026 Asia Pulse survey of 521 senior executives across six Asia-Pacific markets found 55% of companies have delayed or scaled back AI agent rollouts because expected operating costs began to outstrip the value generated, compared with 49% globally.
Moka AI, formerly MokaHR, is an AI-powered applicant tracking system (ATS) and recruiting platform. According to Moka AI, more than 3,000 companies use the platform, including over 30% of the Fortune 500.
Neither the coffee chain nor the sportswear retailer was identified in the announcement.
