Manager, Digital Marketing Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for the interviewer, not so great for the interviewee" January 18, 2019 4.0 Pros I loved setting it up, I loved the idea, I like what I get as a hiring manager. I can see more personality than just written answers in screening. Cons THe complaints from the interviewee side. Super stressful, starts super quick. We might not get the best candidate of someone who isn't as tech friendly. Review Source Response from Kira Talent March 4, 2019 Hey Kareem, Thanks so much for the review! :) Please feel free to reach out to your Client Success Manager if you'd like to discuss strategies for making interviewees more comfortable with the online assessment! Cheers, Christian VR Verified Reviewer Academic Program Manager, College of Nursing Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ease of use, smooth, great customer service" May 4, 2018 5.0 We were able to get better responses from our students and ensure that they were the ones actually completing the electronic interview. It was also faster and easier for faculty to review the applications. Pros The software significantly cut down on the amount of time our faculty members had to spend reviewing applications. It was easy and straightforward for them to learn and use. Cons The software wasn't as customizable as we had originally hoped. There were some aspects we wanted to remove or hide to the students that we weren't able to do; however, the Kira Talent team helped as much as they could. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 16, 2018 Hey there! Thanks so much for your review! Please reach out to us at success@kiratalent.com to discuss the customization requests you have! We're always developing the platform and may already be building some of the features you're interested in! -Christian MK Mudita K. Student Recruitment Officer Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kira at the Lassonde School of Engineering " January 29, 2019 4.0 We have been satisfied with the platform so far. It would be good to see improvements year over year. As an administrator, I haven't seen much change in three years. As a school that integrates Kira with Salesforce, improvements to API also need to be made. Pros Simple, easy-to-use for students Customer/Technical support for students is managed by Kira Cons Need more analytic capabilities to generate reviewer reports, ways to remind reviewers of outstanding reviews. It would be good to be able to see a reviewer's view of the platform as an administrator, to determine where they might need support. Review Source Response from Kira Talent March 4, 2019 Hey Mudita! Thanks so much for the great review and feedback. I have shared this with our design and development teams! :) Cheers, Christian MB Mindy B. Executive Director Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Kira - a personalized, insightful tool for recruiting " January 25, 2019 5.0 Outstanding! We'll continue to use Kira and hopefully expand to other graduate programs. I have also been vocal with contacts in Industry about leveraging this tool for interviewing talented students for internships and entry-level roles. Pros I greatly appreciate the flexibility it offers our prospective students. Our application process is an important part of our students' experience with our program. The ability to tailor questions and ensure a quality process is critical. While not a dynamic conversation we find our applicants to be exceptionally candid. We're readily able to gain valuable insight on their communication skills and motivations for attending our program. It's our first year using Kira and it's been a huge help! Cons So far, nothing. We've had few issues with reviews that didn't get logged. They were immediately addressed. Review Source Response from Kira Talent March 4, 2019 Hey Mindy! Thank you so much for the incredible review! :) We would love to bring other programs at Case Western onboard with Kira! Cheers, Christian AM Agnes M. Assistant Director, Recruitment & Admissions Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### " Kira Talent Review" February 1, 2019 4.0 Pros Great way to have a quick look of the candidates communications skills. Effective Cons Once on a candidate page upon finishing review, no look-up for name to go to the next review and have to go back to the Applicant Listing and search for name again. More efficient if the name search bar is on every page. Review Source Response from Kira Talent March 4, 2019 Hey Agnes, Thank you so much for the positive review! :) I've shared your feedback with the design and development teams! Cheers, Christian VR Verified Reviewer Assistant Dean Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A way to truly know your applicants" April 27, 2018 5.0 Pros Kira Talent is an amazing tool that our applicants to use to show up their authentic self. So much more can be sussed out by a video interview vs a resume or written application. Cons The scrubbing tools could be a bit better but other than that, Kira Talent is amazing. I have not had any major issues! Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 16, 2018 Hey there! Thanks so much for taking the time to review Kira! We really appreciate it! -Christian RF Richard F. Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Prodcut to assist with recruitment " July 22, 2019 5.0 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. Review Source DA Danielle A. Assistant Director Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Intuitive and easy to use. " April 26, 2018 5.0 Pros Kira staff are easy to work with and can implement changes easily and efficiently. The videos are easy to run and I like that I can communicate with users quickly and with a few clicks. Cons The analytics page could be a little more detailed- maybe including a search function so we can find a user more quickly instead of doing a manual search. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 16, 2018 Hi Danielle, thank you so much for the wonderful review! I agree about your Analytics feedback - it's on my personal product wish list to be able to sort/filter applicants in all areas of Analytics :) I'll pass this along to the team as well. - Melanie VR Verified Reviewer Assistant Director of Admissions Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Seamless integration, easy to use, great quality " April 26, 2018 5.0 Pros Seamless integration into application/file reader software. Easy to use from a staff perspective. Great quality videos. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 16, 2018 Hey there! Thank you so much for your awesome review of Kira! Cheers! -Christian KW Kathy W. Recruiting & Admissions Manager Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User friendly with great interface!" January 29, 2019 4.0 Excellent customer service, especially with the live chat feature on their website. I've utilized it a few times and it's very handy. Additionally, the 24/7 tech help for applicants is also super convenient and helpful. I've also had the opportunity to be involved in the creation of a new program and manged the recording process and sending the script and recordings to Kira. Pretty seamless process. The reps are super helpful to work with. Pros It is very easy to use and navigate in terms of setting up, recording, accessing, and reviewing recordings. Cons The inability to batch assign specific applicants to reviewers. Currently the batch assignment is only for randomized applications. Review Source Response from Kira Talent March 4, 2019 Hey Kathy! :) Thanks so much for the positive review! We love hearing that our customer service reps have been great to work with! I've passed your feedback along to the design and development teams! Cheers, Christian LM Lisa M. Recruitment Coordinator Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An innovative way to interview!" May 1, 2018 5.0 Pros I have been using the Kira Talent platform for just over a year and find it very easy to use when reviewing candidate's video interviews. The platform is very user-friendly and easy to navigate through. I would definitely recommend the software to anyone that wants to free up a bit of time when interviewing large number of candidates. Cons I haven't had a bad experience of the platform yet and neither have my colleagues - I know a couple of candidates often face technical issues, but I believe that's purely down to having an unsecure internet connection. Overall, I have had a pleasant experience Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 16, 2018 Thank you so much for the incredible review, Lisa! It's been great working with you and the Imperial team these past few years :) - Melanie VR Verified Reviewer Triage Intern Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A good interview software" January 29, 2019 5.0 Pros I like that Kira was easy to use and was extremely clear about how an interview session would proceed. Cons The pre-recorded interviews give you a set amount of time to prep after giving a question; I wish you could skip this prep time if you don't need it. Review Source Response from Kira Talent March 4, 2019 Hey there, Thanks for the review! We really appreciate it! :) Cheers, Christian VR Verified Reviewer Recruitment & Admissions Officer, Rotman Commerce Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Kira Talent has been easy to learn and navigate, and has met the needs of the application process. " April 26, 2018 4.0 24/7 technical support for applicants, quick and helpful responses from client support manager, clean and simple navigation to assign applications, review applications, and give scores. Pros Easy to navigate, clear assessment rubrics, very responsive client support and applicant technical support. Cons Lacks integration with other admissions tools, lacks functions to reduce assessor bias, applicant's unique identifier in Kira is not consistent with the rest of our admissions process, no control over format/ content of exported data. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 16, 2018 Hey there! Thanks for your review! :) Please reach out to us at success@kiratalent.com for more information re: integrating with other admissions tools. We actually integrate with many ATS/CRM software providers! -Christian KC Karen C. Administrative Assistant Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Positive" April 26, 2018 4.0 A more clear perspective of one's English language skills Pros To invite someone to a Kira, it is simple and takes about 30 seconds. The response (receipt of the Kira interview) is much quicker than a CD presentation being sent to us from overseas. Cons If you forget your password, it is sometimes confusing to get it back. If checking to see if someone started or submitted a KIra, I sometimes have to use different search names/address. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi Karen, I'm so glad you're having a great experience with the platform! I'm not sure I understand your requirement to search different names and email addresses - I'll send you a direct email shortly! - Melanie TB Ta-Tanisha B. Manager-Admissions Information Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Helpful and user friendly" May 2, 2018 4.0 Pros Kira is extremely user friendly. Even as beginner, I was able to navigate it easily as well as teach others to use it. Cons The search key isn't very obvious. The complete video link doesn't always automatically populate in the CRM we use. However, I'm not sure if the error with KIRA or our CRM. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi Ta-Tanisha, thanks so much for your review! I'm very glad you're finding the platform valuable and intuitive - those are our two main goals. :) Regarding the search key - I'm not quite sure I understand. I'll send you a direct email to learn more! - Melanie EL Elissa L. Owner Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great addition to our recruiting process" March 12, 2015 4.5 Pros We found Kira Talent to be a great screening tool to quickly get a sense of certain candidates and narrow to a short-list in an efficient way. Instead of judging based on resumes alone, these video interviews were a great supplement to get us down to a shorter list of candidates worth interviewing in person. Cons When I first started using the software a couple of years ago there were a few minor glitches, but I believe they've all been fixed. They're also very responsive on any issues, so this didn't cause me any real problems. Review Source CO Chelsea O. Administrative Assistant Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kira has been a great tool for evaluating admission candidates. The customer service is great." April 26, 2018 4.0 Pros The software is designed in a very straightforward and user-friendly manner. I like how quickly and efficiently you can work within the platform and tracking interviews is very easy. Cons The only issues we run into is certain browsers often give candidates issues in completing the interview. Usually trying a different browser clears up the issue, but it often give users issues. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi Chelsea! Thanks so much for your review! If your applicants have any questions about supported browsers, they can always reach out to our support team at support@kiratalent.com or have a look at our FAQ, which indicates which browsers and devices are supported on the platform (https://kiratalent.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003063123-Supported-Browsers-and-Devices). Best, Cathlin CK Christine K. Operations Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use and more convenient than being locked into live interview schedules. " May 1, 2018 4.0 This is much easier for staff since we can review interviews when it is more convenient for our schedules, especially with high international populations in different time zones. It's also more consistent across reviewers since questions (even rotating) are more focused on competencies we know they need to be successful in classroom. Pros Being able to review interviews on our own schedules and competency questions are more consistent across interviewers Cons It would be really helpful to have better search options; i.e., for individual applicants in all windows and also for reviewers. Have to now go back into each group to find someone. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi Christine, thanks so much for your review! I am glad to hear that implementing Kira allowed for easier scheduling and consistency in your review process! Best, Cathlin VR Verified Reviewer Principal Solution Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Tool for Capturing Interview" January 18, 2019 4.0 Great so far, quick answers from their customer service team Pros Easy to Use tool which is easy to integrate into a 3rd Party Platform Cons The ability to iFrame the videos was recently removed from the platform Review Source Response from Kira Talent March 4, 2019 Hey there, Thanks so much for the positive review! :) We really appreciate it! Cheers, Christian ST Stephanie T. Admissions Director Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nothing but positive things to say about the Kira Talent software and the team behind it! " May 1, 2018 5.0 The main benefit is the opportunity to "meet" more of our candidates. With large volume programmes this is sometimes hard and Kira Talent has given us the chance to know our candidates better before making a decision. Pros Easy to use (both for candidates and the staff watching the videos), good looking platform, but most importantly the software gives us the opportunity to "meet" more candidates from all around the world which has added a new dimension to our admissions process. Cons Cant think of anything which I would suggest an improvement on. At LBS we haven't experienced any significant issues with the software. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hey Stephanie! Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We appreciate it very much! -Christian VR Verified Reviewer Summer Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Software generally works well and provides a sound platform for accomplishing our goal" April 26, 2018 4.0 Pros It's reliable and relatively easy to use. Selection of a particular applicant's profile is relatively easy, allowing for quick evaluation. Cons In some ways, I think it may have too many features. It'd also be nice if it wasn't a separate platform from the rest of the admissions materials that we evaluate. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 16, 2018 Hey there! Thanks so much for your review! :) We've got some really interesting things under development - stay tuned for updates! -Christian JM John M. Sr. Associate Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kira Talent is easily one of the strongest platforms for University Admissions Offices to use!" April 30, 2018 4.0 Pros The student facing interface is easy to understand as a user. Our prospective students enjoy utilizing the platform and it provides us with another opportunity to position our brand early on in the admissions process. Cons This is not a con, but Kira Talent needs to continue to expand their product offerings for the Higher Education industry because of their strong design capabilities. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 15, 2018 Hi John, What an incredible review, thank you! We've got a few things up our sleeves when it comes to expanding our product offering in the academic space - stay tuned! - Melanie KB Kristyn B. Talent Specialist Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good, easy to use, " May 14, 2018 4.0 Pros you get a good feel of candidates before in person interview & more personality / non verbal info than just CV / Resume Cons Technical issues from the use side, often advising they cannot complete, some even have to come to the office to complete video responses. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 21, 2018 Hey Kristyn! Thanks so much for the review! Very soon, we'll be moving from Adobe Flash to HTML5 for all video recording features. Once this migration is complete, your applicants should encounter significantly fewer issues! - Christian VR Verified Reviewer Assistant Dean for Public Health Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I use this to review graduate student applicants." April 30, 2018 4.0 Quick, easy way to review graduate student applicants for scholarship potential. Pros This is great tool to review applicants who are interviewing for extra scholarship points. The interface is extremely easy to navigate. Cons The sound quality of the videos varies so greatly, with some videos being very difficult to hear. I assume that's more of a function of the one who is recording the video though and not as much a function of the software. Review Source Response from Kira Talent May 16, 2018 Hey there! Thanks so much for the review! We truly appreciate it! :) -Christian VR Verified Reviewer Recruitment & Admissions Advisor Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Such a useful tool!" January 25, 2019 5.0 Helps in making decisions with some of our applications. We get a better glimpse at who the candidate is when they submit a Kira to us. Pros I love the efficiency of Kira with the heavy volume of applicants our program receives. Cons Hard to judge when there has been a possible issue with the browser refreshes, not sure if its connection issues or them trying to reform their answers.
