Kellobb MBA Candidate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Use it in oder to view Kellogg videonessays submitted by prospective students." April 26, 2018 4.0 Pros search function easy to use when searching for specific candidates, customer service is always responsive Cons Does not work the same across browsers; password retrieval process is a pain in the butt, load times for video are too long Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hey Libby! Thanks for the feedback! Regarding various browsers and slow video playback: these should be resolved as we recently moved from Adobe Flash to HTML5 for all video playback! Please reach out to success@kiratalent.com anytime you need help with a password reset! -Christian AC Andrew C. MBA student/application reader Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I used this video software in assessing people for business school admissions." April 26, 2018 4.0 I think it's a great option for people when using video interviews to get a sense of applicants prior to the actual interview. Pros I really liked how easy the software was to use. The quality of the sound and video were excellent. Cons I initially had trouble watching the videos on Google Chrome, which is my preferred browser. I would have to resort to using Safari. Recently, however, I noticed that this issue has been resolved. I'm not sure if that was an issue with my computer or with Kira. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hey Andrew! Thanks for the awesome feedback! :) The improvements you noticed were due to our migration from Adobe Flash to HTML5 for video playback. Glad it helped! -Christian JY Jessica Y. Assistant Director of Admissions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kira streamlines the interviewing process. " May 11, 2018 4.0 Pros The software is above average in terms of features and functionality and is easier to use than other systems I've tried. The best part about Kira is the excellent customer service. Their response time is super fast and they are always helpful with any troubleshooting. Cons We've had a handful of issues with integrating the software into our own CRM system. Other than that, Kira meets most of our needs. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hey Jessica! Thanks so much for your review, we really appreciate it! :D -Christian JD Janet D. clinician Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Have used the online interview platform for 2 years as part of undergraduate admissions committee." May 3, 2018 4.0 Pros Clear pages. Fonts are easy to read. It seems easy for our volunteer assessors to use and does not seem to require much instruction for them. Cons Had issues with signing in and they were hard to resolve, but it eventually got fixed and I was able to sign in. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi Janet! So good to hear that you've had a great experience with us over the past two years. I'm sorry to hear about the issues with sign in - please let us know if you have any trouble next year, and we'll get it sorted out for you right away. - Melanie AC Angela C. Assistant Director Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Intuitive and streamlined" May 3, 2018 5.0 Pros Rubrics and how they appear below each video makes rating even easier and more intuitive. Makes it easy for us to video interview our candidates without much effort/coordination on our end. Cons For a while, I had trouble using the software in different browsers. This issue seems resolved, which has increased my appreciation significantly. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi Angela, thanks so much for your review! I am so glad that you and your team enjoy the built-in rubrics on the platform!! We recently switched from Adobe Flash, to HTML5 on the reviewer side, which is most likely why you now find it more accessible on different browsers :) Best, Cathlin SD Sarah D. Admissions and Recruitment Specialist Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use and slick interface" April 30, 2018 5.0 Easy way to learn more about the applicants we read about on paper. Pros Although I'm fairly new to the program, I enjoy the layout of the program (the simple and easily digestible way it organizes information). Its rather user friendly and customer service has been great so far Cons There are times when the functionality of the software can get a bit temperamental. There is a note button I often try to select and rather than selecting the notes feature, it closes the entire video. This has happened on multiple occasions to myself and my colleagues. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi Sarah, thanks so much for your review! I am glad to hear that even in your short time using Kira, it has been a positive experience :) I will absolutely bring back the feedback about the notes functionality to my team! Best, Cathlin LR Lizzie R. Senior Assistant Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We briefly used Kira for MBA admission interviews" April 26, 2018 4.0 Pros This product is great for managing high interview volume. Initial customer service to launch product was great - very thorough. Cons Not many cons that I can think of. The product makes a lot of sense for high volume projects in various contexts. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hey Lizzie! Thanks for the wonderful review! :D -Christian SP Sonia P. Student Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kira does a good job of making the videos available but website is confusing and problem quality. " April 26, 2018 3.0 Pros That the videos are lined up and easy to review and the questions for each video clearly displayed. Cons When I enter the website it is confusing as to while group I need to click on. Also, once i review a video I have to go back to the main page to search for the next. A search box on the video page would be helpful. The video lags significantly when I hit play and its very confusing to know whether to pause, wait or refresh the page. This has happened over the year of using the software. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hey Sonia! Thank you so much for the feedback! We've taken your suggestion for improved search functionality to our development team. Regarding video playback, we have recently made improvements by switching from Adobe Flash to HTML5 for all video playback. You should have no issue reviewing videos moving forward! - Christian EF Ernald F. Associate Director Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent user experience as someone who delegates the review process. Uptime is excellent." April 26, 2018 5.0 Fast online review of video recordings, easy to rate applicants, easy to assign files for review which makes our process more efficient. Pros We love that the software is easy to use for all parties (applicants and admission officers). As mentioned above, the uptime is critical for us. The feature that flags suspicious activity has been very helpful in several cases this past year. Cons I think that the software serves it's purpose well. I can't think of any features i'd like to have that isn't already included. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 16, 2018 Ernald - thanks for the glowing review! This is all incredible to hear. :) - Melanie CN Charlotte N. Bootcamp Operations Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Kira is very user friendly!" April 27, 2018 4.0 Pros I like the level of customization available. The feature that allows you to assign reviewers is also helpful. Cons I would love to have the option to add a "upload a photo" section to the interview portion. We often need this and have to get a photo elsewhere Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi Charlotte, thanks so much for your review! I am glad to hear that level of customization the platform allows is beneficial for you and your team :) Applicants do have the opportunity to upload their photo on their check-in page, but this would not be able to be downloaded. Thank you for this suggestion, and I will certainly bring it up with the team! Best, Cathlin SJ Sarah J. Manager of Recruiting and Communication Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Kira review" January 18, 2019 5.0 Kira Talent has helped us evaluate our applicants on a holistic level which is helping us understand these students before they arrive. Pros The ease of use for both the student and office staff. The helpful customer service we always receive. Cons It would be nice to readily see all the email reminders we send to students.

Sr. Administrative Assistant Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "KIRA is easy to look at, and easy to use. " April 26, 2018 4.0 Pros Inviting batches of applicants and Attaching form emails to the invitations makes it easy to check off lists of applicants all at once, making sure they have the same quality of communication. Cons Viewing how many invitations you've sent all at once is difficult. Searching sometimes doesn't work at all. Sometimes the videos don't play. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi Annalisa, thank you so much for the feedback! I'm glad you're having a positive experience with the platform. I'll send you a direct email to understand what we can do to ensure your experience with Customer Support is better in the future! - Melanie AS Alexsis S. Associate Director, MBA Admissions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Two years of reviewing Kira Talent videos." May 3, 2018 4.0 Pros Captures some of the qualities we are looking for with our candidates that are a fit for our program. Another aspect of the candidate to factor into our holistic review. Cons Some small glitches, we have had some candidates have one question verbalized, and a different question presented in the text box. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi Alexsis, thanks so much for your review! I am glad to hear that Kira helped your school's holistic review process :) Best, Cathlin VR Verified Reviewer Product Marketing Manager Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good experience to evaluate speaking capabilities" April 26, 2018 5.0 Pros I think it is a good method to evaluate a quick response from candidates.

Student Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Used as part of admissions reading" April 30, 2018 4.0 Pros Relatively easy to use, could enter comments while reviewing, video quality was good. Could link directly from Slate to view relevant video. Cons Volume was often too low with no way to change. Comment feature requires reviewer to click a button to save comment (this was not immediately apparent) and doesn't provide any warning if about to close out without saving comments. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hey Ian! Thanks so much for your review! :) Great feedback re: the commenting feature - I've brought this to the development team in the form of a feature request! -Christian AT Amy T.

Assistant Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We use Kira Talent for admissions to nursing school. The faculty love it. It saves so much time." January 29, 2019 5.0 It is a time saver for faculty. It lets them see applicant in a simulated 'in-person' interview which has proven to be very useful. Pros Easy to use and Kira Talent provides the applicants with online support. Cons So far so good. I don't have any complaints or suggestions for the software. Review Source Response from Kira Talent March 4, 2019 Hey Sherri! Thank you so much for the wonderful review!

Recruitment and Admissions Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Intuitive software that gets the job done. " April 30, 2018 4.0 It's useful for our admissions process. Pros It's an intuitive software, which I appreciate. No training was required to navigate the platform. Cons I don't like the fact that it won't let you edit notes after submission. It would be great if KIRA could incorporate a similarity functionality to Facebook or LinkedIn, and allow users to edit their own notes. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi Rita, I'm so glad you're finding the system valuable and intuitive! That's a great idea about the ability to edit notes - let me submit this as a feature request now :) - Melanie WB Wendy B. Program Director Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Holistic, honest application" February 1, 2019 4.0 Excellent. The customer service answered questions and problems quickly, and none of the candidates have experienced problems. We are much more confident admitting students than we were solely on the basis of their application Pros Ease and speed of reviewing candidates as well as the ability to far more accurately assess their ability to write than with a lengthy essay. Cons I would like to receive notification when new apps are available for review. Review Source Response from Kira Talent March 4, 2019 Hey Wendy! Thank you so much for the amazing review! :) We really appreciate it! Cheers, Christian IJ Isabel J. Senior Associate Director of Admissions Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Our experience with the service so far is pretty good" April 27, 2018 5.0 more knowledge from our candidates, a stricter admissions process. Pros We can see candidate´s performance without previous preparation and during a stressful situation. It is extremely helpful for us Cons Sometimes candidates think it is only a test and we receive their responses that cannot be evaluated and they need to take it again Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hey Isabel! Thank you so much for your lovely review! :) We've made some recent changes to the applicant experience to prevent confusion between a Kira Assessment and Kira Prep. Hope this helps! -Christian RA Rosemary A. Director of MS Admissions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Kira gave us back our evenings!" May 2, 2018 4.0 Capterra drove me crazy, though--too time consuming and the images are too grainy to be used. Pros We enjoy the flexibility to use with different time zones and for different programs. Today I was able to use Kira in a case we had not originally envisioned. Cons If a recipient lost an email, or it went to junk mail, it is difficult to resend the link. Need to make it easier to \*resend the link.\* Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi Rosemary, thanks so much for your review! I am glad to hear that Kira has been beneficial to you and your team :) Best, Cathlin JM Javier M. Intern Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great experience for both user and clients" May 3, 2018 5.0 A lot Pros Easy to access and information is easy to find. When I am reviewing data or as well seeking information on Kira it is easy to find being it is user friendly. Cons It usually only works with Safari and not Google Chrome on Macs. When trying to review videos unfortunately I am always travelling and as well moving from different office locations based of my seasonal events on campus. Therefore moving around in different areas requires me to use different computers. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 16, 2018 Hi Javier - thanks for the awesome feedback! We actually recommend Google Chrome as a preferred browser for Kira, especially since we've updated our video player, so please let me know if you continue to run into issues! - Melanie KB Kristina B. Administrator Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing unique tool " July 28, 2019 5.0 Pros I love Kira, it has made recruitment alot easier and more enjoyable. Being able to see a video and have complete control on the questions or the written responses saves a lot of time and gives me more confidence in moving forward with a candidate. Also very easy to edit on the go to change things. Cons Sometimes candiates are able to game the software, so they need to improve their security feature. Review Source Response from Kira Talent December 3, 2019 Hey Kristina, Thanks for taking the time to leave us feedback! :) We are just about to release an upgrade to the platform that will make gaming the system much more difficult! This should be fully deployed by the end of 2019. Thanks!
