I applied through college or 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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why AlphaSights? What do you think will be the hardest part of the job for you?
the first ai round was really easy. then the actaully first round was also Pretty easy first round. Asks you the basic questions. tell me about urself, what do you do at school etc.
I only attended the first interview. The HR manager was neither friendly nor unfriendly. It was just a normal screening interview. Only self-introduction and motivation for application were conducted in English, and the rest were conducted in Korean. The HR manager asked questions focusing on my background and history rather than understanding the job itself.
First round all behavioral. Mostly talking about previous experiences, how it applies to AlphaSights, and why AlphaSights is a fit role. Wasn't difficult, but unfortunately did don't get selected for some reason even though I thought it went very well.
