Case Study: Weatherhead School of Management achieves greater efficiency and reclaims 48 evening hours with Kira Talent

Weatherhead School of Management - Customer Case Study

Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University faced a scheduling bottleneck: Meredith Richardson, Admissions Manager for Specialty Programs, was conducting hundreds of Skype interviews each year—often speaking with 25–40 applicants per week and staying up until 11 p.m. to accommodate global time zones. To streamline admissions for the school’s three specialty master’s programs (which attract over 2,000 applicants), Weatherhead turned to Kira Talent and its Kira assessments.

Kira Talent implemented on-demand video assessments and routing tools so the admissions team can evaluate applicants during business hours and assign reviews across staff. As a result, Meredith estimates she has reclaimed at least 48 hours previously spent on evening interviews, can assess candidates when she’s most alert, and is able to meet more applicants overall—freeing up time and improving efficiency for the Weatherhead School of Management.
