I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in May 2022
Interview
Many steps
1. An online assessment (rather simple)
2. Screening phone call with recruiter (behavioral questions)
3. Attend an online workshop to learn more about their strategy and how to complete a case study
4. Technical round, one hour of a sample case study of the BREAD process followed by another more basic situational and behavioral questions.
5. Final round phone call with senior leadership
6. Results delivered via phone call (mine was with same VP as final round)
No basically sales and recruiting wrapped up into one.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What if an advisor cancels a meeting at the last second?
I only attended the first interview. The HR manager was neither friendly nor unfriendly. It was just a normal screening interview. Only self-introduction and motivation for application were conducted in English, and the rest were conducted in Korean. The HR manager asked questions focusing on my background and history rather than understanding the job itself.
First round all behavioral. Mostly talking about previous experiences, how it applies to AlphaSights, and why AlphaSights is a fit role. Wasn't difficult, but unfortunately did don't get selected for some reason even though I thought it went very well.
Initial call with a recruiter to gain an insight into the role. This was followed by two subsequent calls with more senior members of staff which entailed more technical questions. A language test also had to be carried out.
