What it is
Kira Talent is an admissions assessment and interview platform for higher education programs. Applicants can complete timed video or written assessments on demand, or take part in structured live interviews. Reviewers evaluate responses using custom competency criteria and rubrics. Live formats include one-to-one, panel, Multiple Mini Interview, group station, and forum sessions. The platform supports applicant communications, document collection, review, and decision workflows. SimCheck screens timed written responses and uploaded documents, with AI writing detection capabilities. Kira lists integrations with Zap Solutions AMP, Enrollment Rx, Full Fabric, Liaison CAS, Salesforce, and Slate. Its API can automate applicant invitations, return completion status and scores through webhooks, provide review links, and support reporting. Applicants can use Windows or macOS computers and Android or iOS devices, though a laptop or desktop is recommended. They need internet access, a front-facing camera, a microphone, and speakers or headphones. Kira states SOC 2 Type II compliance and WCAG 2.1 Level AA alignment with some known exceptions.
