Case Study: IESE Business School achieves a faster, more consistent admissions process with Kira Talent

Strengthening recruitment and increasing applicant yield

IESE Business School needed a more efficient and consistent way to assess applicants’ communication skills and fit, especially for its deferred MBA admissions path, the Young Talent Path (YTP). The school had struggled with varied video essay submissions and the time required to coordinate live interviews, making it difficult to score candidates fairly and scale the process.

With Kira Talent’s Asynchronous Assessment, IESE Business School standardized interview submissions and kept its personalized admissions experience intact. The admissions team reduced processing time from about 1.5 hours per application to around 10 minutes, while still evaluating communication skills and maintaining a hands-on, holistic process.
