I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Hong Kong) in Oct 2025
Interview
Behavioral - Asked about resume, relevant experience, academic performance. I had to explain how and why i chose my degrees, what made me go into consulting etc. The hiring process is structured, fast-paced, and heavily focused on your communication skills, client orientation, commercial mindset, and ability to work in a high-pressure, multitasking role.

Question 1
Explain AlphaSights’ business model in your own words
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.
