Visit Kira Talent

Kira Talent is an admissions assessment platform for higher education that lets institutions evaluate applicants through on-demand, timed video and timed written responses. It addresses the limitations of traditional admissions processes by providing structured, standardized evaluation alongside existing requirements, helping teams review more applicants while assessing traits such as communication, critical thinking, and leadership.

The platform includes custom rubrics and competency-based criteria for structured evaluation, flexible reviewer assignments, and a reviewer analytics dashboard showing inter-rated reliability. SimCheck screens timed written responses and uploaded documents for plagiarism with AI writing detection. Applicants receive a branded portal with welcome and closing videos, and the platform supports accessibility features aligned with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Optional Reviewer Services provide professionally trained raters, and a Client Success Manager supports onboarding, question and rubric development, team training, and an annual Inspire Report with insights and feedback.

Kira Talent is built for admissions teams and academic programs of varying sizes. Pricing is provided as an estimate based on a platform license, consultative onboarding, and a branded assessment portal, with optional packages for videography, admissions consulting, reviewer services, and integrations.
