Case Study: University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy achieves scalable, streamlined admissions interviews with Kira Talent

Texas Pharmacy scales admissions interviews by transitioning to an all-in-one virtual platform

The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy needed a more sustainable way to run admissions interviews after moving from in-person sessions to a patchwork of Zoom, Qualtrics, and manual workarounds. The process was inefficient for staff and interviewers, and it still needed to preserve the accessibility benefits of virtual interviewing while supporting a more diverse applicant pool. Kira Talent provided the all-in-one interview platform the school was looking for.

With Kira Talent, Texas Pharmacy streamlined live virtual interviewing, automated applicant movement through interview stations, and captured scores and notes directly in-platform with PharmCAS integration. The result was less manual coordination, fewer technical hassles, and more time for interviewers to focus on applicant engagement. Kira Talent also helped Texas Pharmacy scale interviews without adding burden to staff and reduce travel barriers, supporting outreach to out-of-state, nontraditional, and under-represented applicants.
