Press Release Overview
Moka AI (formerly MokaHR), an AI‑powered applicant tracking system and recruiting platform headquartered in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, issued a press release on 14 August 2026 from Singapore announcing deployment results for its AI recruiting agent, Moka Eva.
Deployment Impact at a Global Coffee & Tea Chain
The agent was rolled out across the entire recruiting process of a leading international coffee and tea chain operating more than 20,000 locations. Per‑store time‑to‑hire fell from 15.4 days to 3.8 days, representing a 75 % reduction. The cost per application decreased by 60 % and manual intervention was reduced by over 80 % compared with the pre‑AI process.
Functional Capabilities and Consistency
Moka Eva sources candidates, screens applications, contacts applicants to confirm interest, conducts AI‑driven interviews and assessments, and forwards shortlists directly to decision‑makers. It applies a unified rubric for screening and interviews, delivering structured assessments uniformly across locations. The agent’s evaluations matched those of human reviewers more than 92 % of the time, preserving consistent hiring standards.
Scale and Language Support
To date, Moka Eva has screened more than 5 million resumes and assisted in over 600,000 interviews, supporting more than 10 languages.
Additional Use Case – Sportswear Retailer in Southeast Asia
For a global sportswear and sporting‑goods retailer operating in Southeast Asia, Moka Eva screens candidates and books interviews entirely via WhatsApp, saving the recruiting team approximately 685 hours each month.
Executive Comments
"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."
Market Context – AI Adoption in Asia‑Pacific
Aon’s Human Capital Trends 2026 Study found that 74 % of organisations in the region have deployed or are piloting AI programmes. Conversely, KPMG’s Q2 2026 Asia Pulse survey of 521 senior executives across six Asia‑Pacific markets reported that 55 % of companies have delayed or scaled back AI agent rollouts as operating costs began to outstrip generated value, compared with 49 % globally.
