Recruitment automation
Automate the screen, not the shuffle
Most recruitment automation software moves candidates between stages faster. Kira does the stage itself.
What is actually automated
Four things, and none of them is a decision.
Kira does
- Drafts five to eight questions from your job description, with what to listen for in each answer.
- Runs the interview by voice, on any device, whenever the candidate opens the link.
- Transcribes every answer, searchable, with markers where nobody spoke.
- Scores each criterion against a written anchor and quotes the transcript line it came from.
You keep
- The questions. Edit any draft, ask for a rewrite, add a must-have.
- The anchors. You define what Weak, OK, and Strong evidence looks like.
- The decision. Kira never rejects anyone.
- The record. Every scorecard is printed “Read-only. Your team decides.”
Where this sits in your stack
Most teams already own tools for two of these. The third is usually still a person’s afternoon.
Finding and messaging
Job boards, outreach sequences, talent pools. Kira does none of it; people have to apply before she can talk to them.
Your ATS or CRM
Stages, notes, client data, reporting. Keep whichever one you run. Kira has no ambition to become it.
The first interview
This is the one Kira runs: the questions, the conversation, the write-up afterwards.
What changes on a Monday
Everyone gets interviewed
Every applicant answers the same questions, including the ones a busy week would have left in the pile.
One question set, reused
Repeat roles use the same workflow. Paste the new job, review the draft and send the link.
Handovers stop needing a call
Every candidate comes back in the same shape, so a colleague picking up the role reads what you read.
Applications stop queueing
Candidates answer on their own time. Nothing waits for a slot on your team’s calendar.
You pay for interviews, not seats, and every price is on the page: see the plans.
What it doesn’t automate
Kira screens. It doesn’t source, schedule or reject.
- Résumé screening. Kira interviews people; it doesn’t read CVs.
- Scheduling. There’s nothing to book — candidates answer on their own time.
- Your ATS. Kira connects to ChatGPT and Claude through MCP, but not to an ATS yet.
- Rejections. No candidate is ever turned down by software.
Best fit: a lean team hiring several roles at once, with no coordinator to spare.
Automation questions
Software that takes repetitive hiring work off a recruiter. Most of it moves candidates between stages: posting, sorting, messaging, scheduling. Kira runs one stage instead, the first interview, by voice.
Kira focuses on the first interview, with recordings, transcripts and scorecards in its own candidate pipeline. It does not currently connect to external applicant tracking systems (ATSs).
Drafting the questions, running the interview, transcribing it, and scoring each criterion against a written anchor with a quote. Not sourcing, not scheduling, not résumé reading, and never the decision.
It can. Kira asks a follow-up when an answer is thin, so a candidate is heard rather than filtered. No one is rejected by software: every scorecard is read-only and your team decides.
Paste the job, review the draft and send the link. Nothing to install or connect, and no implementation call.
Kira is $149 a month for 100 interviews, or $349 for 500. Seats and vacancies are unlimited on both. The trial runs on 25 interviews and takes no card.
