Case Study: Salt Lake Community College achieves fair, scalable applicant evaluation with Kira Talent

How graduate programs evaluate applicants fairly at scale

Salt Lake Community College needed a fairer, faster way to evaluate applicants at scale as traditional essays became less reliable and more difficult to trust. The college used Kira Talent’s video interviews to let students respond in their own voice, giving admissions teams and faculty a better way to assess authenticity, communication, and fit.

Kira Talent implemented asynchronous video assessment, helping Salt Lake Community College save significant time in the admissions process and move decisions forward more quickly. Cher Knupp, Director of Health Sciences Admissions, said the change gave back time for both admissions and faculty, and helped the college see applicants more clearly; the broader Kira Talent approach also supports scalable review with trained evaluators, reducing burden while maintaining consistency and fairness.
