I applied online. I interviewed at AlphaSights (London, England) in Nov 2015
Interview
Applied online with just a CV, was contacted a few days later to take part in a video assessment (just 4 questions). You are given 15 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to answer. Quite an easy, painless process - the technology had one hiccup (made me wait a few seconds before it loaded the next question), but this was fine.

3. How have your past experiences led you to establish the criteria you will use to determine which firm you'll join?
Don't remember the last one
I applied for the Graduate Analyst position at London. The process lasted for around 1 month from contacted by hr to interview. I went through HR screening and user interview. The interview process was okay.
I applied online. I interviewed at AlphaSights (London, England) in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview was conducted online and lasted around 20 minutes. It was a one-to-one video interview with a hiring manager. The questions were mainly focused on my background, previous experience, and motivation for applying to the Graduate Analyst position. They also asked about my expected salary and availability. The atmosphere was professional but friendly, and the interview followed a structured format.
Good interview, asking primarily about characteristics and personal experiences. Very self-focused, with a lot of emphasis on personality rather than technical ability. Overall interviewers in both screening and first-round interviews were nice people and polite.
