Functionality

Pros:

It allows you to get a sense of an individual before you meet them in person and it allows you to see a video of their verbal communications skills and then their written skills with a written assessment. It has been a crucial tool for my team to help with recruitment.

Cons:

Sometimes candidates are able to game the platform to be able to review the questions and thus prepare in advance. They need to create a better security system to prevent this from happening.

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.

Functionality

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.

Vendor Response

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

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.

Vendor Response

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.

Functionality

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Vendor Response

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

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.

Ratings Breakdown

Pros:

- 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

Cons:

- 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.

Ratings Breakdown

Pros:

Easy and quick way to review candidates prior to bringing them in for a full interview. Very simple and easy to use UI.

Cons:

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 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!
