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. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Hong Kong)
Interview
Initial stage was an online application which was took 5 minutes, covering your basic details and a resume.
Second stage, which was took place a week after the application submission was a video interview; which is an online video submission whereby they state a question on the screen, give you 30 seconds to prepare and then start recording your response, of which could be 30 secs or 1minute recording (hence you will need to check the time limit given carefully during preparation)
These questions are quite standard. The ones I got asked (you get asked 5 qns) were: explain why you are a suitable candidate in AlphaSights; what are your career prospects and why choose AlphaSights; what do you like about AlphaSights. Can't remember the exact questions, but in general, it revolves around why AS is the place for you and why you are suitable for the company. Your career aspirations, and what you know about the firm - what they do. So it's crucial you do your research beforehand, since these questions are fairly standardised and you're able to prepare for it.

Question 1
None because the 5 questions were fairly standard, and having read reviews, they were exactly the type of questions that came up. Time limit together with the form of interview made the experience quite nerve-racking though - since it was the first time i had been interviewed this way.
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.
