I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at AlphaSights (London, England) in Jan 2024
Interview
The interview process for the Client Service Associate role at AlphaSights is in 4 stages. The first being a phone screening interview. After that you meet with someone from talent acquisition who asks questions about why you want the position, what are you looking to learn ect. The next round is a case study round where they will give you a task for you to find experts based on a brief and then present these experts and explain your rationale for choosing them. I found this round quite difficult and full on, however I had someone interviewing me who is notoriously harsh.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What skills are you looking to develop at AlphaSights?
the first ai round was really easy. then the actaully first round was also Pretty easy first round. Asks you the basic questions. tell me about urself, what do you do at school etc.
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.
