The interview

## What happens during the interview

-    No camera
-    No proctoring
-    Any device
-    13 languages

-   ### Interview anytime
    
    Candidates answer when it suits them. No slot to book.
    
-   ### Relevant follow-ups
    
    When an answer names no concrete example, Kira-AI asks once for the specifics, then moves on.
    
-   ### Resume after a disconnection
    
    If the connection drops, the candidate reopens the link and carries on after their last saved answer.
    
-   ### Live captions
    
    Kira-AI’s words appear as captions while she speaks, for anyone who would rather read.

AI assessment

Strong, Mixed or Weak, with reasons behind the scores. Thin evidence stays unscored.

Must-haves

Each one marked Met, Not met or Not confirmed, with the evidence behind it.

What Kira-AI listened for

Handling difficult customers 5

The candidate described a specific situation with an angry customer, detailed their initial and subsequent actions, and explained the positive resolution.

> “So, I stopped quoting the policy and just asked her what would help most right now. She said she just needed the sofa to look decent for the weekend. So, we sent a replacement cushion by courier for the next morning and gave a partial refund.”

Kira-AI never rejects anyone.

Your team controls ratings, notes and hiring stages. Kira-AI’s assessment stays separate.

## Or skip the scoring

Set a vacancy to collect-only and Kira-AI records and transcribes with no AI assessment at all.

For teams whose policy or jurisdiction rules out automated assessment. You still get the conversation.

Everything included

## Everything Kira-AI does

All of it in every plan. The plans differ only in interviews a month.

### Set up

-   AI interview plan from your job ad
    
    Paste the ad. Kira-AI drafts the questions, puts your must-haves first and proposes what to listen for. You edit everything before it goes live.
    
-   Anchors you write
    
    Describe a weak, an OK and a strong answer for each criterion. Every criterion counts the same.
    
-   Preview the candidate page
    
    See the page candidates get before anyone has the link.
    

### Interview

-   In the browser, no account
    
    Candidates open the link and talk. Nothing to install, no account to create, and no question is individually timed.
    
-   13 languages, set per vacancy
    
    Candidates take the interview in the language you choose for the role.
    
-   One follow-up when an answer is thin
    
    If an answer names no concrete example, Kira-AI asks once for the specifics, then moves on.
    
-   Resume after a dropped connection
    
    Reopen the link and Kira-AI picks up at the first unanswered question.
    

### Scorecard and review

-   Transcript, audio and the quotes behind the scores
    
    Read it, play it. Kira-AI’s evidence is the candidate’s own words with the moment they were said, so you can jump there.
    
-   No guessing
    
    When the evidence is thin, Kira-AI leaves the criterion unscored. Long pauses appear as plain seconds and count for nothing.
    
-   Compare candidates side by side
    
    Up to ten scorecards next to each other, criterion by criterion.
    
-   Blind review
    
    Names and email addresses are hidden while your team reviews.
    
-   Your rating and notes beside Kira-AI’s
    
    Your team’s rating is recorded separately from the AI assessment.
    
-   Pipeline stages you name
    
    Rename the stages, add your own, drop the ones you don’t use.
    

### Reach candidates

-   Invitations, tracked
    
    See who was invited, who opened the link, who finished. Resend or revoke as needed.
    
-   Private, by link or listed
    
    Per vacancy: invitation only, open to anyone with the link, or on your careers page. Personal invitations verify email through the link. Public vacancy links use an emailed six-digit code.
    
-   Hosted careers page with your branding
    
    Your open roles on one page, in your colours, with your logo.
    

### Trust and account

-   Unlimited team members, with an activity log
    
    Add your whole team. Changes in the workspace are recorded with who made them and when.
    
-   No automated rejection
    
    Kira-AI has no reject action. Nothing in the product moves a candidate out of your pipeline; a person does.
    
-   Data stored in the EU
    
    Recordings, transcripts and account data are stored in the EU. You can request deletion at any time.
    
-   Works with ChatGPT and Claude
    
    Connect either one to draft vacancies, invite people and read results. Data you ask for is sent to that assistant’s provider.
