I applied online. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Sep 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of two rounds. The first was a 15-minute HR screening call focused on behavioral questions and motivation for the role. The recruiter asked about my background, why AlphaSights, and my understanding of the client service function. The second round was a video interview with situational and communication-based questions to assess problem-solving and client-handling ability. The process moved quickly and communication was professional and clear throughout.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe a time when you had to manage multiple priorities under a tight deadline?
A recruiter reached out after my application on Handshake. The first round interview was behavioral - asking questions about myself, my background, why I wanted to be on Client Services as opposed to consulting. Also asked on my understanding of the role
Easy scheduling, recruiter helped with questions I had. Able to freely schedule my interviews. There was a few interviews, some short some long. Didn’t take too long to receive offer.
The video interview is simple. But the second interview has a prep guide,, but it doesn't include the information you need to know. You walk through a supply chain, but the guide doesn't tell you to prepare for that, despite being told the guide is all you need to prepare.
