Case Study: CMU College of Medicine modernizes admissions interviews with Kira Talent

CMU builds a modern admissions process to match its forward-thinking medical school

CMU College of Medicine modernized its admissions interview process as a relatively new medical school looking to stand out with a more collaborative, forward-thinking approach. Using Kira Talent, the school moved away from a tech-fragile online interview setup and needed a more reliable way to support virtual interviews while keeping staff focused on evaluating applicants, not troubleshooting problems.

Kira Talent delivered a smoother virtual interviewing experience with 24/7 applicant support, 99.9% platform uptime, live interview support, and an AMP integration for seamless scheduling and data transfer. CMU College of Medicine reported reducing interview-day workload by 1–2 hours per day, saving nearly 30 hours across 14 interview days per cycle, while also lowering applicant cost barriers and expanding access to more candidates.
