I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Jun 2014
Interview
I got through to the first face to face interview in London. Interviewer was very friendly and made you feel very relaxed. Standard interview questions based on past experience and why you think you would suit the job/industry. My particular interviewer actually talked a lot so make sure you are listening to everything they are saying, bringing some of your answers back to references he/she made early will be a good thing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Slightly surprised by the difficulty of questions based on the business model of the company. Make sure you do lots of research into the industry and 'expert networks' and the different types of business models there are.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Hong Kong) in Apr 2014
Interview
Four-step process - automated video interview, phone interview with very basic questions (this may be done in the office if you're in town), presentation and then meeting the founder. They are very quick in responding to you. The interview with the founder will consist of "technical" questions in how AlphaSights operate as well as personal questions. He just wants to get a better understanding of who you are.

Question 1
Understand what AlphaSights do and what their business model is - they will ask you questions from the start of a project to the end (how you might find experts, how you approach them, what questions you should ask, etc)
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Londres, Inglaterra) in Sep 2014
Interview
Completed the online application. Received the link to do video assessment the next day. All 5 question as mentioned in the previous reviews. Prepared well but still got a negative response within a few days. The last 2 questions (Who do you admire the most? and What book are you reading?) are really the crucial ones, I believe.
