The process took 4 days. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Aug 2014
Interview
I had been contacted by William Leeming, the vice-president of the firm, to submit an application. Hence, I filled out the application and heard back in a few hours with an invite to the video interview stage.
My advice would be to redo your responses to questions if you think you could have answered them better, and this gives you more time to think about how to the answer questions - this is what I wish I would have done.
I did have technical problems with the video interview stage but HR are very helpful with that

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.
