Quite splendid. Never had any difficulties. Beautifully structured.
Ease of use. It's extremely convenient and user friendly. The layout is well organized and it makes the entire user experience wonderful.
CONSThere'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.

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

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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSI 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?

Hey there! Thanks so much for submitting a review! :) Good news! Later this year we'll be releasing a new feature: 'Automatic Assignments' for reviewers! Stay tuned for more to come! -Christian

Kira Talent Review
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.
CONSWe 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.

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

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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSHonestly, I have not run into any issues using this software yet, it has been a great experience so far!

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.
PROSsimple, clean interface that's easy to navigate
CONSWhen 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.
