The Kira platform has allowed us to differentiate between candidates and determine fit much...
Vorteile
I like the timed responses, and opportunity to 'bucket' questions into different categories. It allows us to easily determine a candidates comprehension and see how quickly and concisely they can formulate an answer. This tool also offers us the ability to see who our applicants are, and if they meet the English proficiency levels that we require for admission into the MBA.
Nachteile
I wish the video would automatically feed into our CRM system. At this stage the link is a manual process. Integration into Salesforce would be ideal

Hey Teresa! Thank you so much for the review! :) Looking forward to setting up a Kira/Salesforce integration with you in the near future! -Christian

Good idea, not the best for the end user.
Was able to weed through a huge pool of potential candidates with more context than a resume.
Vorteile
It helps you gain better insight of your candidates with a face to face which makes it easier to weed out people earlier in the process.
Nachteile
The users complained about the usability and not being able to time things properly. It doesn't actually replicate an interview and the screening isn't the best at all from their perspective so you might actually lose out on the best candidate if you based it on this.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hi Kareem - thanks for your feedback! We really appreciate it. You're right - we do recommend using Kira as a screening tool (like you are) instead of a replacement for a final, in-person interview. So glad you're seeing value and saving time with your current use case! - Melanie

Kira Talent Review
Vorteile
Our office uses Kira Talent to host the video essay portion of our student application. The platform is easy to use, and offers a great tutorial and instructions for how each video assessment will be conducted. The customer support is also very responsive and the software works well with the system we use to house the application itself.
Nachteile
We have three deadline per year in which applications are due, which corresponds with three important days when our applicants are preparing and submitting their video essays. As such, the platform is heavily trafficked on those days. While we have prepared Kira Talent months ahead of time for these days, we still have our users complaining of experiencing technical difficulties due to the high volume at those times. This has caused some problems in our process in the past. However, Kira Talent customer support team is very responsive during these times and does work with out applicants to ensure the technology is working for them.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hi Julia!
Thanks for the positive review overall. We have done a lot to improve our infrastructure in this area over the last year so that peak application periods are smooth for everyone involved :)
Cheers,
Jamie

I think that the Kira product is very good. I am overall satisfied
Reduced cycle time, marketing opportunities to candidates, more relaxed candidates,
Vorteile
The ability to serve the candidates. It is convenient, provides stats, meets a need from candidates, and allow us to convey messages to the candidates. It also meets our needs as staff. The customer service of Kira is also very good.
Nachteile
Lack of online mobile support for staff. A bit clunky in functionality. Not as user friendly as it could be. Need the ability to sort through candidates as defined by the user.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Ted, what a great review! Thank you so much! It's wonderful to hear you're having a good experience, and you're seeing lots of value with the Kira platform. We hope to have mobile apps for applicants in the future, and I agree about the ability to sort applicants as defined by the user. This is on our list! - Melanie

We use Kira to facilitate video interviews for applicants to our graduate business programs.
The software gives a more holistic, well-rounded look at applicants from the moment their application moves into review. This help us prioritize which individuals should be moving along to live Skype or in-person interviews.
Vorteile
The integration of Kira with our Salesforce CRM has allowed us to seamlessly request and review video interviews from directly within our existing application framework. This means fewer clicks and less time wasted moving back and forth between platforms.
Nachteile
As the administrator, the overall level of access I have to control platform settings is somewhat restricted compared with other hosted solutions we use. This can at times require an over-dependence on Kira staff to help explain/remedy problems.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hi Brice, your review makes me so happy! Thanks for the great feedback. I must agree with you - we're working on ways to improve your self-serve access as an Administrator. I'll pass this along to the team! :) - Melanie

Outstanding platform that simplifies the hiring process
Kira Talent is an incredible platform that has supported our hiring process time and time again. It saves time, is easy to use and the customer service is tremendous.
Vorteile
Easy to use, accessible and convenient. This software has improved the hiring process tremendously. When asking applicants about their experience interviewing with Kira, we've received very positive feedback.
Nachteile
Occasionally, sound quality was compromised when applicants used headphones

Beautiful platform, wonderful client support, great experience!
KiraTalent is a wonderful platform that we use daily and extensively in our hiring and qualification process. It is used to qualify large numbers of applicants quickly and conveniently. The features we use the most are the custom question banks and uploading our own video questions. The platform is beautiful and easy to use. We can create interviews quickly, and are able to invite candidates to answer questions immediately. The client support team is extremely helpful and quickly responsive to any issues, suggestions, problems, etc. They are always available with answers to any inquiries we have.
Vorteile
- Easy to use user interface, very attractive and aesthetically pleasing
- Client Support is extremely responsive and positive
- Customization of interviews
- Ability to upload own videos for branding purposes
Nachteile
- A few applicants reported difficulty getting their webcam to work on the first try, and were unable to record their interviews.

Best video interview platform
Kira Talent is a very useful new platform that has become central to our hiring process. It allows us to quickly screen a large number of candidates and ensure that we're only proceeding with the right ones who best fit our culture (ie spending less time with poor candidates, and spending greater time with high quality candidates). Kira is extremely easy to use and many of our candidates have echoed positive feedback about our hiring process largely thanks to Kira! I would definitely recommend it to any company managing numerous applicants.
Vorteile
Easy and quick way to review candidates prior to bringing them in for a full interview. Very simple and easy to use UI.
Nachteile
Some candidates may be slightly out of their comfort zone in a video interview format. Kira seems to be working improving the experience to reduce this friction, but this could be said about all video interview platforms.

I use Kira Talent regularly and the program makes my job easier on a day-to-day basis
I can screen candidates to make searching and evaluations easier and make more effective choices.
Vorteile
Ease of use, I can switch from screen to screen easily. The welcoming attitude of the staff and the general purpose of the programs
Nachteile
I wish it could somehow be integrated with the CRM software our institution uses, this way I could eliminate switching from program to program. This is a very minor issue, however.

Great tool, excellent service.
While I admit to being a little skeptical of video interviewing initially, I was won over by Kira Talent. This tool allows us to screen candidates more thoroughly and in a time effective manner. It can also be a fun way to give candidates a sense of your company culture and a feel for what you're looking for. We've been using Kira for a few months now and we've made very successful hires using this as part of our hiring process.
Kira's service is top notch and this is something that makes them stand out. They respond to emails and calls quickly and are always happy to answer questions, make suggestions, or walk you through anything you need help with. They're also great listeners -- as in, they truly value feedback from their clients and in our case, made changes based on that feedback. The team at Kira are a great bunch!

It's easy to use and generally reliable.
Vorteile
Simplicity and speed, as well as the rubric definitions and verbiage. The ability to add and edit notes. As an end-user, I'm not privy to the customizable nature of the questions or rubrics, but would hope that we have the option of testing for various competencies (in addition to the same ones I see every day from applicants' submissions).
Nachteile
The lack of ability to place candidates literally next to each other in comparison. At least as I've been trained, each applicant is reviewed separately, but there are times when it would be valuable to have functionality allowing side-by-side comparison of ratings and for the choice of applicants (side by side) be "filterable" by application date, geography, etc. Also, is there a way to test for severity or leniency bias by reviewers and to filter the results by the same criteria, as well as demographic data? There's a lot more potential for this program-- largely to help with validity and reliability.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hi Anthony, thank you so much for your great review! Unfortunately, we don't capture geographic data in Kira now, but this is a great idea. The ability to compare applicants side by side is also a great idea - I'll submit these as feature requests now. I hope you're using the "Analytics" tab at the top of your Kira screen, and your "Ratings by Reviewer" option per assessment to understand the variability between reviewers' overall scores! - Melanie

Great Platform for Garnering Hundreds of Interviews
Vorteile
Kira saves our team so much time by allowing us to collect interview responses without having to schedule an in-person or face-to-face Skype interview. Having the interview responses are also a really helpful way for us to more holistically review applicants to our graduate programs. We learn more about the applicants by hearing them speak, as opposed to just knowing them from what they provide on paper.
Nachteile
There is some clunky-ness in the functionality of the software, especially when clicking in and out of each video response. For example, when trying to select the Notes button, it is easy to accidentally click somewhere outside of the button and then consequently collapse the entire video and ranking section. This gets frustrating when you are in the middle of viewing a video and then accidentally close it because you clicked somewhere close by.

Easy Application Review
Vorteile
I like this software because of the simplicity of the software and the ease of use. I love the idea of being able to watch prospective student videos and getting to review the application on another level. It is helpful to not have to only review long drawn out applications all day, but to have a tool that allows for you to easily separate one candidate from the next candidate. I love the Kira interviews. The process works well for a program like social work or public health because you can really see and witness the passion that is exuded from the video submissions that the applicants send in to us during application season.
Nachteile
Although there are aspects of the software that I really like, there are also aspects of the software that I believe are a bit challenging at times. For example, I find it difficult sometimes to troubleshoot, navigate, and solve technical issues for individuals applying to the program. In my opinion, the solution is not very helpful to the prospective student because I often must refer them to Kira to call for help with their problem and sometimes I feel as if I am not providing the highest level of customer service to the prospective student. This can at times can be a bit frustrating to say the least.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hi Brittany, Thank you so much for your review! I am so happy to hear that Kira allows you to see the passion of the student applying :) Thank you for letting us know about the issues and ideas that you have surrounding technical support for applicants! I would love to connect with you further about this to hear your ideas :) I will reach out to your via email. - Cathlin

Kira Talent is an easy to use online platform for managing interview invites for our applicants...
This software allows us to easily interface with our applicant base to manage our interviews.
Vorteile
The best feature of this software is its ability to manage reminders through the system for those who have not started or not completed their Kira interview. It's also very user friendly, allowing us to group specific people for certain types of interviews as well as providing analysis for certain types of actions taken throughout an interview.
Nachteile
I would like to have a feature added that lets us know whether individuals have received the original email invitation. Sometimes we are unsure if someone has received and viewed/opened the invitation email and we have to follow up with them manually.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hi Bryan! Thank you so much for your feedback. In your "Analytics" tab at the top of your page, you can see the "Applicant Pipeline" for each of your assessments. On this blue bar graph, the "Not Started" stage lists all applicants who have not opened their invite email. The "Opened Email" stage lists all applicants who've opened their email, but haven't registered yet. You can also remind the applicants from this page as well! Hope that helps! - Melanie

Excellent product and even better customer service
We work with several admissions technology vendors - Kira is by far the best to work with!
Vorteile
The Kira team is amazing to work with - there is a bit of work on the front end to get setup and they were with us and super helpful all the way. Kira is easy to use and administer and we've received mostly positive feedback from our applicants as well. It has really added something special to our holistic admissions process.
Nachteile
Lack of mobile app - would be convenient for applicants to use their mobile devices to complete the assessment.

Enhances the Student Applicant Experience
We wanted a way to personalize the applicant experience to our graduate program. Kira Talent has helped us to get to know our applicants as people versus what we read about on paper. It has helped us see who may be best fit for our program.
Vorteile
I enjoy the ability to be able to holistically access our applicants to our graduate program by viewing their responses to certain interview questions. It brings the candidate to life when we can see their personality and how they react and adapt to interview questions versus reading about them on paper.
Nachteile
Sometimes we run into issues where the students have trouble recording their answers due to connectivity issues. I also wish there was an easier way to view the videos once submitted rather than having to look through the log of applicants to see which ones are newest.

We have used Kira for the past 3 years. It is easy to use, easy to update.
Vorteile
Ease of use, integration with our application, access to review what a reviewer said and comments. This year we used the writing function and really liked that.
Nachteile
No matter the randomness of the questions, our questions are making their way onto public media and we are seeing rehearsed answers.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hi Jessica, thanks so much for your review! I am glad to hear that adding timed written responses was beneficial to you and your team! I will reach out to you via email to see if we can find a way to better randomize questions for next cycle to ensure that all applicants are getting a fair chance :) Best, Cathlin

Great customer support
We have been able to meet candidates by implementing the video essay questions into our application, has been a nice personal touch that is now integrated into the application. Really agile and great client support!
Vorteile
Really great digital evaluation/interview tool with great functionality and troubleshooting steps, plus really fast customer support to clients and their clients!
Nachteile
Not much, just took some time to integrate their talent platform into my school's existing application system (Slate) because that platform had existing video technology and Slate didn't want to help input a third party video platform.

Kira in the admission process
Overall our experience has been great with Kira Talent. This software has increased our admission process quality for interviews by allowing us to get a snapshot of the prospect before an official interview. The Software also allows us to really look at the students fit to our programs.

It allows us to score our admission pool before offering out interviews, helping increase staff efficency time use.

That the video link cannot be added embedded in our graduate schools application easily.

This product is user friendly, has a great UI and customer service is fantastic!
Vorteile
The Kira team has been so quick to help every time our team needs to make updates on the platform. They usually respond within just a few hours and deliver on requests just as quickly. They also respond quickly to applicants who reach out for help on the platform.
The platform itself is very easy for both the applicant and our backend users. In just over a year with Kira, we have not had a single applicant who had an issue navigating the platform and completing the interview because it's so intuitive.
Nachteile
The main downside for our team is that we have international and other applicants who don't always have access to consistent internet. However, Kira's minimum bandwidth requirements are well within reason.
The former Flash requirement used to be a huge downside (having to advise applicants to use Chrome wasn't ideal), but the switch to HTML5 takes care of that problem.

Great Program
Overall, I have liked using the software quite a bit. I find that having this video interview is a great pre-screen for learning if we want to hear more from the candidate. I do find that completing the video itself is a bit of a barrier to applicants and most often we need to follow up frequently to encourage them to complete it.
Vorteile
The program was intuitive, easy to use from the perspective of the candidate and from the perspective of the person reviewing the videos. The practice session was very helpful and I felt that it prepped the candidates well for the recorded interview.
Nachteile
Organizing and sorting the completed videos isn't as intuitive. I don't see a way that I can quickly access only the videos that are relevant to my candidates from the home page. I have to click a few buttons in to get to a search screen. I'd like the reviews to automatically be sorted by job posting so I don't have to sort through them or keep track of all applicants names to see who mine are. There is a chance that I'd miss one if I don't take note of their name when I send them the initial invite.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hey Amanda!
Thanks so much for the lovely review! :) I've forwarded your feedback to our design and product teams to see how we might be able to improve the organization and sorting of completed assessments.

Great way to put candidates on the spot, make them think on their feet.
Shorter time to review essays.
Vorteile
I love that way you are required to come up with a well thought out answer on interesting topics. I also love the writing component, as writing with good grammar, spelling and punctuation without having someone proof-read your content is less common that one would like.
Nachteile
The fact that it only allows a particular type of personality to shine through: extroverts and improvisers. More introverted, analytical candidates are at a disadvantage. Even though it is meant as a replacement for interviews, we use it as a replacement for Essays. In previous essays, people could present answers in any medium they liked. Once again, with Video answers, only those who are good at speaking will shine.

A GREAT ADDITION TO THE INTERVIEW PROCESS; GARNERS ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT DETAILS FROM APPLICANTS
Vorteile
Simple yet effective. Using Kira allowed us to get to know our clients in a way that made the screening process easier. The video interviewing features created a faster and easier way of assessing a client, it saved us and the client time. After the video interview, we can be certain which client is a great candidate for our firm. The process became smoother since we started using Kira.
Nachteile
It seems like applicants cannot be filtered demographically which is an important factor for applicant browsing, for us at least. It would really be great if this can be added to future updates since this may hasten our process more.

Kira Talent has been an excellent addition to our Admission process. Highly recommend Kira...
Meeting our candidates virtually is a big plus. The convenient and user friendly platform saves time and adds efficiencies to the process. It is a great extension to a candidate’s application.
Vorteile
One of the most attractive features of the Kira Talent platform is how exceptionally easy it is to use. We use it daily as an integral part of our Admission process in getting to know our candidates better. The platform is very easy to navigate and the layout is very appealing. It is convenient and offers many great features including a ‘Results’ page that summarizes browser refreshes, technical issues, total time the candidate spent on completing their interview and a spelling and grammar check on the written response. The Kira Team is one of the most supportive and dedicated teams I have interacted with. The customer support team is always on hand to provide a great customer experience. They continue to grow their product and are always improving on an already great platform. They are receptive to customer feedback and the customer always feels valued. I would highly recommend this product.
Nachteile
Really no cons. Any issues or suggestions that are made are quickly acted on and improved upon. They are always meeting the customer’s needs.

Kira Talent assessments have helped us gain a better view of our applicants' communication...
We're able to virtually interview applicants without requiring staff to be available for live interviews; incorporating the review of these interviews into application review has been extremely helpful in assessing individuals for our professional graduate degrees.
Vorteile
Easy to use from the admin side; integration with our current app system went quite smoothly and continues to run without issues about 2 years after implementation. It allows us to mimic a live interview without the personnel necessary to hold hundreds of live interviews with individual applicants. The randomization of questions is a great feature. Customer support is great. Applicants who are qualified for our programs (able to complete a live interview without extreme anxiety that inhibits communication) have given it positive reviews. Looking forward to integrating it with our new CRM/app (Slate) to be built over the next year or so.
Nachteile
The ability of applicants to refresh their web browser to get a new question (until they get a question they can answer) isn't great. On our side, the fact that questions have been collected in this way and disseminated on sites like gradcafe.com isn't awesome - but when we see an interviewee obviously reading their answer in the interview, it actually makes our decision much easier. I wish there was an admin user role that would allow the user to login and view any interview without having it assigned to them specifically - without giving them the ability to delete/modify content/interviews within Kira Talent (so - more granular access rights would be nice).
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hi Bridget! Thank you so much for your review!! I am so glad that Kira has been helpful to you and your team over the years, and that you are going to be integrating with Slate! I would love to connect about questions leaking onto public forums. I will send you an email to chat further :) - Cathlin

Save so much time in the hiring process!
Saves time and allows us to better know our candidates! It is easy to use and is a great system for our organization.
Vorteile
The software allows us to conduct first-round interviews without bringing candidates into the organization and having the hiring committee gather in one place at one time. The committee can review candidates from anywhere! This allows our second round in-person interviews to have a stronger pool of candidates.
Nachteile
I don't like that you can't pre-select the reviewers for all the applicants for a chosen assessment, i.e. after each candidate submits their videos, you have to go back in and assign that applicant to the reviewers. Why can't you just set all the reviewers you want for a specific assessment and have them all get alerted to review candidates once they filter in?

Kira Talent have a great product and an excellent support team.
A whole extra layer of assessment. Consistency alongside our interview process - we have alumni interviewing for us, so this software allows us to take a look at every applicant.
Vorteile
The software is relatively easy to set up and use and provides huge assessment & selection value in the recruitment process.
Nachteile
It's not really a negative about the software, more about the idea of video assessment. We felt that it was important to have a team discussion on visual and language bias to ensure that we use the product carefully, respectfully and in context.

I couldn't do my job without Kira!
I've saved a lot of personal time reviewing applicants thanks to Kira.
Vorteile
Kira is easy to use. I can have multiple reviewers use the system and everything is consistent across the board. Using Kira has saved me personally over 45 additional hours of reviewing interviews outside of my normal working hours per year. The platform is intuitive and user friendly. Their customer support is second to none! The minute I have a question, I can expect a reply within the hour and my dedicated account specialist makes me feel like I have her fullest attention. They continually provide support and resources for my students and staff. Because of Kira, I now have more time to focus on my applicants and students.
Nachteile
Kira has come a long way since I began to use them, and I look forward to the growth ahead. I understand that it's hard to have on platform for all of the companies/universities who use their services, but there are more tweaks that can be made to enhance my personal use of their platform, including a search function for ALL of Kira, not just a search per section/group. It would also be great to have a way to input the completion date into the system and have automatic reminder emails get sent out until they complete it.

Fantastic product that has made interviews a lot easier for my company.
Multiple people being able to review the prospective applicants is fantastic. As we deal with international students it can be hard to arrange times that work for both parties, this product allows the applicant to complete it at a time that works for them and than we can review the interview when it works for our schedules as well.
Vorteile
I like the ability to review the interviews, and have the applicants complete them at a time that works for everyone.
Nachteile
Some slight adjustments would make it even more beneficial for day to day use, but these are small personalized things that on a whole do not detract much form my overall pleasant experience with the product.

Quite splendid. Never had any difficulties. Beautifully structured.
Vorteile
Ease of use. It's extremely convenient and user friendly. The layout is well organized and it makes the entire user experience wonderful.
Nachteile
There's nothing that I dislike about this software. On occasion the videos do not load properly. That's probably my only complaint. But then again, that's extremely rare.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hey there! Thanks so much for the wonderful review! :D We recently moved from Adobe Flash to HTML5 for all video playback - next admissions cycle, you shouldn't experience videos failing to load at all any more! -Christian

Good functionality and quite easy to use
Vorteile
The short interviews that we use the software for are very valuable.
Kira is pretty easy to use - inviting one or multiple email addresses to an interview is very easy. The platform is quick to load and watch interviews.
We use this platform almost daily and it works well for what it does.
Nachteile
I really wish that the interviews were mobile compatible. Several interviewees have only had access to a microphone though their phone, so have not been able to complete the Kira interview.
Once someone completes an interview, you cannot change the interview structure (for instance to give interviewees more time to complete the interview). I understand why this is in place but wish you could override the system to make these changes.
It is tricky / finicky to copy links to individual interview invites. We do this quite a bit as we will send an email with their interview link.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hi Jeremy - thanks so much for your feedback! I'm glad you're having a good experience overall. We hope to have mobile apps for applicants again in the future, and please lean on me at any time to make structural changes to the interview. I'm happy to help. Regarding the interview links for applicants - I hope you're making use of the Applicant Details CSV for easy copy/pasting! - Melanie

Overall I really enjoy getting to know the students by seeing them and hearing their answers.
I get a deeper knowledge of the student by seeing them and hearing them answer the questions. Their applications come to life when I watch their videos.
Vorteile
The software makes it very easy to invite a student to interview. In addition, the software makes it easy to view a student's video. The quality of the video is very high.
Nachteile
I don't like to have to search for the student I invited. We have 6 members of our staff who invite students and I have to scroll through all of them to find the ones I invited because I only view the students I invite. Also, I wish it were less cumbersome to see when a student was invited, and to send them a reminder to complete their video by the due date. I can only search on sent invites if I know the email address. This is frustrating.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hi David, Thanks so much for your review! Thank you for providing feedback on how your team uses our product and we will definitely take this into account in the future! I will send you an email to see if we can schedule a time to chat about some of your concerns and ways we can address them on the platform :) Best, Cathlin

Kira has helped us with streamlining our application review process.
The biggest benefit I have received from this software is it has streamlined my application review process so now I no longer have to schedule online Skype interviews with international applicants.
Vorteile
The software is super easy to use and we have experienced very few technical errors either on our side or our applicants side. When issues have come up the Kira team has had it fixed within 24 hours.
Nachteile
Honestly, I have not run into any issues using this software yet, it has been a great experience so far!

Kira - Great for increasing efficiency of application review
My overall experience with Kira has been great. It's easy to use and increases the efficiency of our application interviewing process.
Vorteile
The addition of Kira to our business school application process significantly increase the turn around time for admissions decisions, allows our team to interview more candidates, created a more consistent and fair applicant interview process, and all while maintaining the integrity of the interview process.
Nachteile
Due to the way our team moves applications forward, the one change that I would love to see is the ability to batch assign/unassign applicants to reviewers. Currently the system only permits user to assign/unassign applicant interviews one by one to reviewers - which takes longer when you've got 50 interviews to unassign and the next 50 or 60 to assign.

Kira Talent Review (making a title for this seems really unecessary)
Great service, staff are incredible. The platform makes certain components of scholarship applications easier to review.
Vorteile
simple, clean interface that's easy to navigate
Nachteile
When I started creating applications 2 years ago I was able to set up/edit some parts of the assessment and for others I relied on a Kira Talent staff member to do it for me. While they were very helpful and responsive I prefer to be able to create/edit all parts of an assessment and then only reach out when I'm having a problem or doing something unique. It's gotten better over the years but I think more and more flexibility would be helpful.

Fantastic support
Vorteile
The video essay platform is very user friendly and walks participants through computer set-up as well as practice questions. Their technical support takes a lot of pressure off my office, as they handle all troubleshooting and always respond instantaneously if I have questions regarding anything!
Nachteile
There are not many cons, Kira is constantly upgrading their technology to deal with the high traffic times and always gives attention to any issues!

I like Kira Talent, the platform is professional and easy to use, excellent customer support.
Easy to connect candidates from different parts of the world. No need to schedule phone interviews. We can evaluate the candidates' English skills, their personality and determine if they are a good fit to our program. We can also use customized questions.
Vorteile
It is easy to use. It eliminates the burden of phone interview (different time zones). Good to see the candidate's personality and determine their communication skills. An excellent feature is to sends reminders to candidates who did not complete the video on time.
Nachteile
Sometime the sound and video quality is not clear.
Candidates unable to do the video interview from a mobile phone.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hi Cynthia! Thanks so much for your review! I am glad to hear that Kira has been beneficial to you and your team! We did used to have a mobile app that applicants could use to complete the assessment, but we found that very few applicants utilized it! Thank you so much for this feedback, and I will be sure to share this with my team! Best, Cathlin

Great functionality
Overall, I think Kira is great. It integrates seamlessly with other CRMs, and the functionality is solid. I've also been very impressed by the customer support. Each time I've had questions about the technology, Kira has been very thorough and quick to respond.
Vorteile
I love that Kira integrates seamlessly with our CRM; we use Kira for a video component of our application. It's very easy to access.
Nachteile
I think that sometimes the instructions about when candidates get access to the platform and steps for completing are at times confusing.

Kira offers a streamlined way to review candidates and get to know them on a more personal...
We get to learn more about our applicants without the hassle of trying to coordinate schedules for in-person or Skype interviews.
Vorteile
I like that Kira is easy for our candidates to use, and that it allows them to practice using the platform before starting the actual interview. Customer support is great and very quick to helping us and helping our candidates when they have trouble using the platform.
Nachteile
I don't love how the video responses collapse so easily by simply clicking anywhere. There have been multiple times when I've accidentally collapsed a video when I really meant to write a note or rate the candidate.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hi Sarah! Thanks so much for your review! I am glad to hear that your team and your applicants have enjoyed the platform :) Thank you so much for your feedback on the video boxes collapsing, I will absolutely bring this back to my team! Best, Cathlin

It just works!
Quality video interview from applicants
Vorteile
Seamless integration / process handoff even with custom developed software. Excellent and responsive customer support and technical support. As a developer team lead, this is one of the 3rd party integration that we do not have to worry about. We have been using it for multiple years and multiple application terms without an issue.
Nachteile
We would like to see even more integration with our system so that we don't even need to send our applicant over to Kira's website. It would be nice if the interview can be handled within our application system.

The experience is overall ok. It runs smoothly and helps me get things done
It helps me get my work done.
Vorteile
I like the software because it's easy to navigate. I was able to view the content very smoothly without any trouble. The design of the software is also very clean. Because I spent a lot of time on the software, having a clean design makes it a lot easier. It is also easy to search for content you want to review.
Nachteile
The website works for certain browsers better than the others, which can be annoying. Because I use different browsers interchangeably. I would wish the website to have more features like bookmark, so i can more easily see what I have marked down.
Antwort von Kira Talent
Hey there! Thanks a tonne for the review! :) We've recently moved from Flash to HTML5 for all video playback! This should eliminate the browser issues you were experiencing! -Christian

Customer Service needs improvement
It is a useful tool for high volume recruitment organizations.
Vorteile
The platform is very easy to use and provides candidates with directions at every step.
Nachteile
The platform is not mobile enabled and it became an issue with a lot of candidates that willing to take the interview on their phones or tablets. There is less support for French candidates and I feel that they can improve a lot in customer service and providing French support to candidates. The business has taken a very different direction and is focusing more on University admissions.

Hey Madooree,
Thank you so much for your review and feedback! :) We hope to one day bring back the mobile app!

Vorteile
The increased productivity it creates for the organization. It is very easy to use and satisfies our business needs.
Nachteile
I am glad there is now a pause button on the videos and you don't have to start them all over/can fast forward to a certain spot. Without that, it was a hassle.

It is a user-friendly service for both our program applicants and the staff that review them.
Ease of use for both the applicant and the staff members.
Vorteile
The online portal is easy to access and use. Notification of new submissions is sent right to my inbox, so I can keep up to date.
Nachteile
I can't say anything comes to mind. It does what I hoped it would do. I would be spitting hairs to create something that I didn't like about Kira.
