Case Study: HEC Montreal achieves consistent, insight-driven MBA admissions with Kira Talent

Creating a consistent and collaborative MBA recruiting process

HEC Montreal, a leading Montreal business school with a one‑year bilingual MBA, struggled to scale its admissions visibility and ensure consistency across roughly 130 alumni interviews; interviewers varied in approach and the school had no way to verify adherence to its guide. To address this, HEC Montreal turned to Kira Talent and implemented Kira assessments into its admissions workflow.

By integrating Kira assessments, Kira Talent enabled HEC Montreal to collect standardized candidate responses and richer data quickly, giving the admissions team more insight into each applicant and reducing interviewer variability. As a result, HEC Montreal reports more consistent, values‑aligned evaluations, a faster scalable review process, and the ability to assemble exceptional classes that better reflect the school’s competency criteria.
