Case Study: UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy achieves faster, more efficient admissions interviews with Kira Talent

UNC Pharmacy introduces time-saving interviews for an optimized admissions process

UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, the #1 ranked pharmacy school in the U.S., needed a more efficient way to run holistic admissions interviews while still evaluating applicants’ communication, interpersonal, and patient-care skills. Its previous in-person process took over a month to organize, required significant staff time, and limited how many qualified applicants could be interviewed each cycle.

With Kira Talent, UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy moved to a flexible, streamlined interview process that let faculty participate remotely, add interview dates quickly, and score candidates directly in the platform. Kira Talent helped the school interview every qualified applicant, cut admissions turnaround so offers could go out within a week, expand session capacity from 45 to 60 applicants per day, and reduce travel, cost, and bias in the review process.
