In addition to the core CAS application, some institutions use Kira Talent to assess applicants. If you're using a Kira assessment, you can use the CAS Configuration Portal to link your assessment with the CAS application so that when an applicant completes the assessment, it's accessible to you in Liaison Outcomes and WebAdMIT.
Note: this integration is available for select CASs. If your CAS offers it, you must have a contract with Kira to use it.
When previewing and testing your programs, note that you cannot test a Kira integration in the prelaunch environment.
It's important you add instructions to help your applicants understand the Kira assessment. Consider using the following suggested language:
Welcome to your Kira assessment. We’re looking forward to meeting you (virtually).
Inside the assessment, you’ll have a chance to register and complete as many practice sessions as you'd like. You’ll then be asked a series of video and/or written questions, given prep time, and a set amount of time to respond to each question. The assessment should only take 30–60 minutes to complete, and can be done on your own time.
You will need access to a desktop or laptop computer with a functioning camera, microphone, and internet connection. If you have any technical questions while completing the assessment, please email support@kiratalent.com.
Your API Token allows Liaison Outcomes and WebAdMIT to integrate with Kira, while your 6-character Assessment ID uniquely identifies your assessment. Contact Kira Talent to obtain your API Token and Assessment ID.
