I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (New York, NY) in Feb 2017
Interview
One video screener, one phone interview, one onsight interview - everything is pretty straightforward. Mainly behavioral with one short case study in which you do a mock call. If you brush up on your behaviorals and do a little research about the firm, what they do, what their job track looks like you should be in a fine spot to get the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How is AlphaSights different than a consulting firm?
A hirevue completed online followed by a behavioral interview over zoom with an HR rep. It was fairly standard behavioral questions and they ask you to describe what the company does.
Very smooth and takes place quickly after application and with a real person which is nice. The questions aim to test your understanding of the work you will be doing and the competitive landscape of the industry.
Process had three rounds: screener, case study, and final, hour long in-depth interview. The recruiter was very transparent and supportive throughout the process and let you know what to expect with each round.
