Moka Eva learns each company’s hiring standards and gets sharper with every role it helps fill.

SINGAPORE, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Moka AI (formerly MokaHR), an AI-powered applicant tracking system (ATS) and recruiting platform, today launched Moka Eva across the Asia Pacific. The AI recruiting agent is designed to make hiring decisions more consistent and precise as organizations use it across more roles and candidate interactions.

The launch comes as demand for AI-driven hiring surges across the region. More than four in five organizations surveyed in Singapore (82%) are already using AI in hiring, onboarding or training, according to industry research by ManpowerGroup.

Why do hiring teams need an AI recruiting agent?

Moka Eva covers the full hiring process, from sourcing and screening to interviews and candidate communications, acting as a proactive AI teammate that continuously refines its judgment based on each company’s own decisions.

The system has screened more than 5 million resumes and assisted in more than 600,000 interviews to date, producing results consistent with human reviewers more than 92% of the time.

At a leading international coffee and tea chain with more than 20,000 locations, Moka Eva cut per-store time-to-hire by 75% and lifted offer-to-onboarding conversion from 14.2% to 35.8%.

How does AI Interview support first-round screening?

Moka Eva also supports automated first-round screening through AI Interview, which sends candidates a single link and conducts a structured interview autonomously, supporting more than 10 languages.

The system probes two to three follow-up questions to test the depth of each answer, flags suspected cheating in real time, and returns a scored report with video playback. Companies using the tool have cut screening time by up to 70%, with shortlist cycles running three times faster.

How does Interview Coach assist human-led interviews?

For human-led interviews, Moka AI’s Interview Coach extracts hiring criteria from a company’s own past interviews, generates tailored questions before each session and prompts interviewers in real time, scoring each candidate afterward and sharpening its benchmarks as more interviews are completed. The goal is not to replace interviewers, but to help companies turn strong individual judgment into a more consistent organizational capability.

“We want to turn the talent-spotting ability of a few great interviewers into a capability the whole organization can share,” said Guoxing Li, co-founder and CEO of Moka AI. “With Moka Eva, hiring becomes less of a black box and more of a compounding asset — every search, screen and interview helps the organization get clearer about who it needs and how to hire better.”

Moka AI is trusted by more than 3,000 companies globally, including more than 30% of the Fortune 500. Moka Eva brings that enterprise-grade recruiting intelligence to teams across Asia Pacific.

HOUSTON, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ezee Fiber, Houston’s fastest-growing independent fiber internet provider, today announced that Chief Executive Officer Matt Marino has been named a Most Admired CEO honoree by the Houston Business Journal (HBJ). The award recognizes outstanding chief executive officers across the greater Houston area who exemplify exceptional leadership, financial stewardship, and meaningful contributions to the community.

“This recognition is a reflection of the incredible Ezee Fiber team and the communities we serve,” said Matt Marino, CEO of Ezee Fiber. “Houston is where we started, and everything we do is rooted in our commitment to deliver the best possible internet experience to the people and businesses in the areas we call home.”

Since joining Ezee Fiber as CEO in 2023, Marino has led the company through a period of rapid expansion, growing from a Houston metro-focused provider to a multistate fiber network spanning Texas, New Mexico, Illinois, Oregon, Michigan and Washington. Under his leadership, Ezee Fiber has acquired Tachus Fiber Internet and Conterra’s network assets, established a partnership as the Official Fiber Internet Partner of the Houston Astros, and continued to expand its mission of delivering affordable, multi-gig fiber internet with best-in-class customer service.

He holds a Bachelor of Science from Washington and Lee University and completed an Executive Education program at Harvard Business School.

When asked about the award, Andrew Crouch, Chairman of Ezee Fiber, said: “I’m delighted for Matt and the Ezee Fiber team. What sets Matt apart is that his exceptional leadership is rooted in community. He has grown the company from a Houston metro provider into a thriving multistate fiber network—never at the expense of the communities Ezee Fiber serves, particularly Houston, where it continues to invest in local teams, affordable best-in-class service, and partnerships. That commitment to community is what makes his leadership exceptional.”
