Moka AI, an AI-native applicant tracking system (ATS), now integrates natively with Lark, bringing the entire hiring workflow into the workspace teams already use.
- One connected workflow, inside Lark: job requisition and offer approvals run through Lark Approval, candidate communication is unified across WhatsApp, email, and Lark, and screening, scheduling, interviews, and evaluations all happen through Lark Calendar, Lark Meetings, and Lark message cards.
- Proven results: A global technology company now coordinates interviews across three time zones entirely in Lark, spending far less time on scheduling and note-taking. Meanwhile, a Malaysian coffee chain combines WhatsApp outreach with Lark-based hiring collaboration to achieve up to 3× higher candidate response rates and faster time-to-fill.
- The payoff: less time lost to coordination, faster and more consistent decisions, and critical roles filled sooner — hiring stops being the bottleneck and becomes a business growth engine.
What's New: Moka AI Is Now Available On Lark
We're excited to introduce Moka AI × Lark integration. As an AI-native applicant tracking system (ATS), Moka AI now integrates natively with Lark, bringing the entire hiring workflow into the workspace where teams already collaborate.
Hiring is a complex, collaborative process that often involves multiple platforms and stakeholders. Job approvals, interview feedback, and candidate decisions can happen across different tools, making it harder for teams to stay aligned and keep hiring moving.
By integrating Moka AI with Lark, teams can access Moka's capabilities directly within Lark Workspace and Lark Sidebar, managing key hiring tasks where they already work — from approving job requisitions and scheduling interviews to evaluating candidates and managing offers. This reduces context switching and keeps everyone aligned throughout the hiring process.
One Connected Hiring Workflow, Powered by Moka AI × Lark
Let's take a closer look at how Moka AI brings each stage of the hiring workflow into Lark.
01. Approve Job Requisitions in Lark
Powered by Lark Approvals & Message Cards
You can approve job requisitions directly in Lark, with Moka AI integrated with Lark Approval.
Approvers can review key details, including the position, department, and approval initiator, and information needed to make informed approval decisions.
02. Keep Candidate Conversations Flowing Through Lark
Powered by Lark Message Cards
Your team works in Lark. Your candidates often don't — many prefer communicating through channels like WhatsApp or email, and may not always respond promptly. That's where candidate communication often slows down.
Moka AI brings candidate conversations from WhatsApp and email directly into Lark, giving recruiters a unified place to stay on top of every reply. Messages, updates, and reminders are delivered through Lark, so your team can track conversations and follow up without constantly checking different channels.
Candidates stay on the channels they already use, while recruiters manage every conversation from one place. By reducing communication friction and reaching candidates where they are most responsive, our customers have seen up to 3× higher response rates.
03. Review Candidates and Share Screening Updates in Lark
Powered by Lark Message Cards
After your recruiters complete resume screening, shortlisted candidates and screening insights are delivered through interactive Lark cards. Hiring managers can review candidate profiles, provide feedback, and keep the hiring process moving.
Notifications include:
- Candidate Screening Requests: Review shortlisted candidates, check profiles, and provide feedback directly from Lark cards.
- Interview Evaluation Requests: Submit structured interview feedback after interviews and keep hiring decisions moving.
- Hiring Task Reminders: Stay on top of pending actions, follow-ups, and next steps throughout the hiring process.
04. Schedule Interviews Across Time Zones
Powered by Lark Calendar
Moka AI connects with Lark Calendar to access interviewers' real-time availability, helping recruiters quickly find suitable time slots, coordinate across time zones, and send interview invitations in just a few clicks.
Once confirmed, interview schedules are synced to everyone's calendar with candidate details attached, giving interviewers the context they need before the meeting.
If an interview needs to be rescheduled, changes sync automatically in both directions, and each participant sees the updated time in their own time zone.
05. Run Interviews with Lark Meetings and AI Summaries
Powered by Lark Video Meetings
When an interview is scheduled, Moka AI automatically creates a Lark Meetings link, so candidates and interviewers can join with one click.
During the interview, Moka AI's AI interview summary feature works directly within Lark Meetings. It records the full session and transcribes the conversation in real time across both desktop and mobile. Interviewers can review any moment from the interview whenever they need to.
After each interview, the hiring team gets a structured summary with evaluation suggestions, giving them a clear, traceable basis for stronger hiring decisions.
06. Collect Interview Feedback and Align Hiring Decisions
Powered by Lark Message Cards
Interview evaluation requests are delivered through Lark cards, allowing interviewers to submit structured feedback and review evaluation directly from their workflow. This helps hiring teams collect feedback faster and make more consistent decisions.
07. Streamline Offer Approvals in Lark
Powered by Lark Approvals & Message Cards
When candidates reach the offer stage, approval requests are routed through Lark workflows. Decision makers receive real-time notifications with key information, including the candidate, position, approvers, and approval status, allowing them to review and complete approvals faster.
Recruiters are immediately notified once decisions are made, so they can move candidates forward without delays.
08. Track Hiring Progress at a Glance
Powered by Lark Workspace and Lark Message Cards
Teams can access Moka AI's recruitment reports and dashboards directly from Lark Workspace, with visibility into key hiring data such as funnel metrics, open positions, applications received, offers extended and more.
For ongoing updates, teams can also subscribe to daily, weekly, and monthly hiring updates delivered through Lark Message Cards. This keeps recruitment progress and interview status visible, so hiring teams always know what's happening at every stage.
Moka AI × Lark in Practice
Case 1: Coordinating Global Interviews Across Three Time Zones
A global technology company with hiring teams across Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and London needed to run technical interviews with panelists spread across different offices.
Previously, recruiters juggled scheduling and communication across separate tools — Microsoft Teams, email, spreadsheets, and their candidate channels — which made interviews slow to arrange and easy to lose track of.
With Moka AI, this now happens in one place, through Lark. The team schedules and runs interviews directly from their Lark Calendar and Workspace, so interviewers stay informed, respond quickly, and aren't held up by scattered communication.
After each interview, Lark Meeting recordings and summaries are synced back to Moka, so they can evaluate candidates with the full interview context. The team now spends far less time coordinating interviews and writing up notes, and reaches hiring decisions faster and more consistently.
Case 2: Improving Candidate Engagement Through WhatsApp and Lark
A coffee chain in Malaysia needed to engage with a large volume of frontline candidates. However, reaching and engaging these candidates efficiently became a challenge.
Many frontline candidates preferred WhatsApp as their primary communication channel. They were often unavailable to answer phone calls or respond to emails during working hours, causing communication delays and slowing down the hiring process.
Moka AI × Lark helped transform the way the coffee chain engaged with frontline candidates. Moka AI allows candidates to complete screening conversations and receive reminders through WhatsApp. Candidate interactions are synchronized with Moka AI, while hiring teams receive real-time updates through Lark. As a result, the coffee chain achieved up to 3× higher response rates and significantly reduced time-to-fill for frontline hiring.
Turn Hiring into a Growth Engine
Most hiring tools ask your team to come to them. Moka AI × Lark does the opposite — it brings hiring into the workspace your team is already in. Your hiring workflow keeps moving instead of waiting for people to switch between systems.
What makes that more than a convenience is what sits underneath. Moka AI is the system of record for every role. It captures profiles, interview summaries, evaluations, and progress automatically, keeps the data secure and compliant, and gives you live visibility straight from Lark, with no manual reporting.
The value goes beyond workflow automation: less time lost to coordination, faster and more consistent decisions, and critical roles filled sooner. Hiring stops being the bottleneck and becomes a growth engine that helps scale your business faster.

Does It Work for Global Teams Across Time Zones and Languages?

Is My Hiring Data Secure When Using Moka AI in Lark?
Yes. Moka AI is built with an APAC compliance-ready security foundation, with customer data hosted on Singapore servers.
Data exchanged between Moka and Lark is transferred through your organization's authorized connection. The integration respects your existing Moka AI permissions, ensuring that each user can only access the information they are authorized to view. Those permissions are granular: access is scoped by region and role, with added protection on sensitive fields.
For cross-border hiring, data is partitioned and handled by region to meet local compliance requirements, while every key action and approval stays fully auditable.
