I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Hong Kong) in Jun 2015
Interview
I applied online for the position in HK. The invitation to complete video assessment came the next day, I prepared well using the questions listed by the others, so i think i answered them perfectly. In 3 days i received an interview offer to conduct an interview at their office. I went there and meet with one of the consultant, we talked about my CV and my understanding of the role, a bit of role play and my career plan. The process lasts an hour and i was told to wait for further notice.
