Case Study: EWU Psychology Department achieves 4x faster admissions with Talview

EWU Conducts Online Admissions 4x Faster Using Talview

Eastern Washington University (EWU), a regional public university founded in 1882, was struggling with a time-consuming admissions process that required a 45-minute personal interview for every applicant. As applications grew, scheduling and conducting live interviews became inefficient—video conferencing still forced tight scheduling and made it hard for panelists to revisit responses—so EWU looked for a cost-effective way to capture candidate answers and let reviewers evaluate them on their own time, selecting Talview.

Talview provided AI-enabled asynchronous video interviews, structured question parameters, recorded responses, and a mobile dashboard for easy evaluation and feedback. This allowed panelists to review candidates anytime, scale the process while keeping consistency, and speed up decision-making—resulting in a 4x increase in panel efficiency, lower admissions costs, and a more streamlined, digital experience for both evaluators and Gen Z applicants.
