Case Study: University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy increases interview completion rate with Kira Talent

Waterloo School of Pharmacy increases interview completion rate while saving time on applicant data analysis

The University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy needed a better way to run its admissions interviews when COVID-19 pushed the process online. After struggling with off-the-shelf tools that lacked customization, support, and the ability to preserve the school’s holistic, face-to-face interview experience, the school turned to Kira Talent for a platform built for higher education admissions.

Kira Talent implemented its Live Interviewing and Asynchronous Assessments solutions, allowing Waterloo to combine real-time panel interviews with structured skills assessments in one system. The result was a smoother, more equitable process with a 97.6% interview acceptance and attendance rate, plus more than 20 hours saved in admin work through built-in analytics and automated data organization.
