Recruitment automation

# Automate the screen, not the shuffle

Most recruitment automation software moves candidates between stages faster. Kira-AI does the stage itself.

## What is actually automated

Four things, and none of them is a decision.

Kira-AI 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-AI 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.

 Sourcing

### Finding and messaging

Job boards, outreach sequences, talent pools. Kira-AI does none of it; people have to apply before she can talk to them.

 The record

### Your ATS or CRM

Stages, notes, client data, reporting. Keep whichever one you run. Kira-AI has no ambition to become it.

 The stage itself

### The first interview

This is the one Kira-AI 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](https://getkira.com/pricing).

## What it doesn’t automate

Kira-AI screens. It doesn’t source, schedule or reject.

-   Résumé screening. Kira-AI interviews people; it doesn’t read CVs.
-   Scheduling. There’s nothing to book — candidates answer on their own time.
-   Your ATS. Kira-AI 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

### What is recruitment automation software?

Software that takes repetitive hiring work off a recruiter. Most of it moves candidates between stages: posting, sorting, messaging, scheduling. Kira-AI runs one stage instead, the first interview, by voice.

### How is this different from an ATS?

Kira-AI 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).

### What can you actually automate in screening?

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.

### Does automation make hiring feel impersonal?

It can. Kira-AI 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.

### How do I add Kira-AI to our stack?

Paste the job, review the draft and send the link. Nothing to install or connect, and no implementation call.

### What does recruitment automation cost?

Kira-AI 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.

## Automate the first screen

$149 a month. The trial is 25 interviews, no card.
