Kira Talent Celebrated as Top 25 Up and Coming Tech Startup for 2013

TORONTO - May 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Kira Talent was honoured as a top 25 Up and Coming Technology company by the Branham Group in their annual listing of Canada’s top publicly traded and privately Information and Communication Technology (ICT) companies as ranked by revenue.

“This is a great mile-marker in Kira Talent’s steep trajectory forward and upwards” said Kira Talent CEO and Co-Founder Emilie Cushman. “We are very proud to be Canadian and even more excited to continue our global expansion.”

Emilie Cushman and Konrad Listwan-Ciesielski founded Kira Talent in March 2012 with the aim to be the world’s simplest and easiest to use online interviewing platform. In October 2012 Kira Talent’s public beta was launched and the team went on to raise seed capital from a group of prominent Canadian and international investors led by Relay Ventures.

“The whole team at Kira Talent is so proud of our early accomplishments” says CTO and Co-Founder Konrad Listwan-Ciesielski. “Since day one we have aimed to over deliver for our clients and provide a beautiful and simple to use product. There is a true elegance in how light our solution is, and how it can connect to any applicant tracking system, but still packs a massive amount of value. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.”
