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 in Jan 2014
Interview
Pass through the first stage (200 word summary of why you want to work for AlphaSights), progressed onto the first interview stage. This interview was recorded online and lasted around 15 min. There is an opportunity to set up the camera and answer a practice question, then watch a recording of yourself. There is also an opportunity to re-record the actual interview for the second time.
As others noted, this is not the most pleasant process, since one is self-conscious when talking into a camera as opposed to another human being, but the questions were nothing out of the ordinary (e.g. why do you want to work for us? what do we do?)
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.
