* Save time and work more efficiently: Eliminate time-consuming, repetitive tasks so you can focus on getting to know your applicants in a meaningful way.
* Make fair decisions: Give every applicant an equal opportunity by creating a structured assessment for every prospective student. Calibrate reviewers’ scores to identify differences in your team’s evaluation variance and identify areas for improvement to achieve greater consistency between admissions committee members.
* Collaborate with your team: Invite members of your team to collaboratively rate, share, and compare their top candidates. Combine the data from multiple perspectives to make a stronger decision on candidates.
* Get customized on-boarding and ongoing, dedicated service: Every Kira client has a Success Manager to ensure you get the most out of the platform. Your Success Manager will work with you to understand your cohort vision and the key traits tied to success in your program and build a customized assessment designed to identify the best fit applicants for your program.
* Make it your own: Brand the assessment experience from start to finish with your school’s colours, logos, and campus images. Record a welcome and closing video that get applicants excited about your program, and record your own video questions to introduce your admissions team.

Pros
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.
Cons
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

Good idea, not the best for the end user.

Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Response from 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

Customer Service needs improvement

It is a useful tool for high volume recruitment organizations.
Pros
The platform is very easy to use and provides candidates with directions at every step.
Cons
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.

The interface is elegant and the customer service is excellent. As a result, I had a tool that really elevated my course. The assessments were a tool for ensuring that students were prepared for class, and they actually enjoyed them.
Pros
The software allowed me to create video quizzes that enable students to offer thoughtful but concise answers on assigned reading. In an online environment, this enables me to get to know my students in a way that a paper and pencil assessment would not.
Cons
The students should not have to do the introductory video before each new assessment. This became redundant after the first assessment.

Reduced cycle time, marketing opportunities to candidates, more relaxed candidates,
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Response from 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
