I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Jun 2025
Interview
There are a few stages.
1. You have to complete a personality test.
2. You have to do an online on-demand interview (recording your answers to questions)
3. A case study with an actual interview (I didn't manage to get to that satge)
Overall, the process for the firat 2 steps was simple and not complicated.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked what AphaSights is. In their prep materials, they mentioned that there are a lot of misconceptions about the nature of the business of company. So they actually gave all the information in these materials. I suppose it was to check how well you worked with the sources they provided.
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.
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.
