I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Mar 2022
Interview
When I interviewed it was 4 rounds. Recruiter, Manager, Manager, Vice President. They are gauging your social skills (e.g. empathy, humility, communication) and your interest in business. They are also gauging your knowledge of the role and what AlphaSights really does, which is connect industry experts to clients on phone calls. Their main issue is high turnover, so they are earnestly aiming to find young people who are eager to learn about business, client service, or financial services. These candidates will stay motivated longer, ideally longer than 12 months.

Question 1
Why AlphaSights? What do you think will be the hardest part of the job for you?
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.

Question 1
Role a play a scenario based on the case study you're given.
Stay away. Realized how much of a scam it is as I went through- ended on my own accord after final round. There will be no exit opportunities with this company whatsoever. You will be stuck. Know some friends who have worked here and regret every second of it.
