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. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (London, England) in Aug 2013
Interview
Process includes an application form, which if successful leads to a virtual video interview. Questions were fairly to be expected and the only advice I would give is practising for a couple of hours beforehand. The questions I had were along the lines of 'What do you think Alphasights does?' 'Why are you more suitable than others?' What does it take to succeed in the professional services industry?' and another that I can't remember but was fairly straightforward. You are required to talk for 60 seconds only on each, with 30s prep time (but I recommend preparing answers before). I thought it went fairly well, although stumbled slightly on one question which I think eventually cost me the job.

Question 1
What do you think it takes to succeed in the professional services industry?
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.
