Case Study: University of New England (UNE) achieves more efficient, applicant-friendly admissions interviews with Kira Talent

How UNE admissions is thriving amidst a rapidly changing higher ed landscape

The University of New England (UNE) needed to modernize its graduate admissions process to stay competitive in a higher-ed market where applicants have more options than ever. UNE wanted to move beyond all on-campus interviews and create a more accessible, applicant-first experience, so it turned to Kira Talent and its virtual interviewing platform integrated with LiaisonCAS.

With Kira Talent, UNE implemented virtual admissions interviews and separated campus visits from interview days, which made the process easier for staff and more convenient for applicants. The change increased the number of applicants interviewed, reduced staff burden, and helped remove travel costs as a barrier; UNE is now expanding Kira across more programs as engagement and efficiency improve.
