Mochi is Maki’s AI-powered screening agent. The phone version autonomously calls candidates, asks questions about eligibility and experience, and provides structured results to help you shortlist more quickly and fairly.

The web version allows you to perform AI-powered video screenings online.

Calls usually take around 10 minutes. The format is short and conversational, designed to filter key criteria before offering a full assessment.

Phone screens are brief and conversational. Assessments are longer (around 20 minutes), more skill-focused, and include enhanced proctoring to detect cheating.

Mochi is ideal for:

Shiro is best for technical, cognitive, or role-specific testing.

Depending on local laws and legislation, it is likely you would need to provide the option of a human-led screening interview, should a candidate opt-out of the AI screening.

Yes. Mochi clearly introduces itself either via SMS for phone screenings, or via email for the web-based screening.

Mochi asks straightforward questions - about availability, work eligibility, or relevant experience. You also have the option to add activity style questions to your candidates, which will focus more on testing certain skills through behavioral-type questions.

Mochi currently supports English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian. Candidates can switch languages during the call if they prefer, however this would need to be agreed upon and set up beforehand by the Talent Acquisition team.

We can also introduce the following languages as per client requests: Japanese, Chinese, Hindi, Korean, Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish, Filipino, Polish, Swedish, Bulgarian, Romanian, Arabic, Czech, Greek, Finnish, Croatian, Malay, Slovak, Danish, Tamil, Ukrainian and Russian.

English - American, British, Australian, Canadian

French - France, Canadian

Portuguese - Brazilian, European

Arabic - Saudi, UAE

Spanish - Spain, Mexican

Mochi is also available as a web-based screening, provided this option is included in your contract. The format (web or phone) is defined during the design stage, and candidates cannot switch between the two within the same screening.

Recruiters can filter candidates based on evaluation results and scores, but Mochi does not support automatic bulk rejection. All filtering is intended to support human decision-making, not replace it, ensuring a fair and transparent process.
