      Associate Interview

      Nov 15, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Dubai
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Dubai)

      Interview

      I applied for the Associate program through university recruiting and the interview was conducted in 4 rounds. First round was a phone screen with an HR recruiter, which took around 15 minutes to conduct -- we talked about my background, what I knew about the role, and why I was interested in the Dubai office. The recruiter I spoke to was really friendly, and it was more of a conversation than a very formal interview. It felt like he was genuinely trying to get to know more about me and my interests and future career goals. I was then contacted a few days later for a second round via Google hangouts with a current member of the team. The interview lasted for around an hour and was mainly asking about my background and my experiences, and talking her through my CV. One thing to be very sure of is that you know the role and what it entails, and are sure that knowledge brokering is something you would be happy doing. They also asked where I could see myself in 5-10 years which was a question repeated at various stages of the process. You should be able to describe what you can see yourself doing long-term and how Alphasights ultimately fits into that plan. Third stage was scheuled for a week after the second round, and this was a case analysis round also via Google Hangouts. It was conducted with an associate and a manager, and they gave me 2 cases and 15 minutes to find individuals who would be a good fit for the client. This was probably the hardest round because I don't have much experience with case interviews, but the two individuals who conducted the interview were really helpful and asked leading questions to help guide me in the right direction. It was a little stressful, but overall a very enjoyable process. The BREAD model, whilst they didn't ask specifically about it, is very important to know because you can use it to guide you in the case, and it gives you some structure to work with. The final round was a call with the VP, and these were mainly "fit" based questions to tie up loose strings that they wanted to answers to -- I think they want to make sure that the people who they hire know exactly what they are getting into, and that everything about the role and what is expected of you is very clear. Overall this process has been one of the most enjoyable - everyone I spoke to was incredibly helpful and friendly, and the process moved relatively swiftly which I appreciate, especially when applying to other positions as well. A week after the final interview was conducted, I received a call letting me know that I have received an offer.
