I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Apr 2024
Interview
It was a rather fast process (timeline below), but that may also be because I spoke with a representative at a school career fair. The first round is a phone call and the second is a case study due 24 hours before your interview. Once I fully understood the job, I pulled out of the process right before my second-round interview.
Applied: 4/22/24; Interview Invite: 4/23/24; Phone Call Interview: 4/25/24 Second Round Interview: 4/29/24
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please introduce yourself, including experiences that would relate to the position.
I only attended the first interview. The HR manager was neither friendly nor unfriendly. It was just a normal screening interview. Only self-introduction and motivation for application were conducted in English, and the rest were conducted in Korean. The HR manager asked questions focusing on my background and history rather than understanding the job itself.
First round all behavioral. Mostly talking about previous experiences, how it applies to AlphaSights, and why AlphaSights is a fit role. Wasn't difficult, but unfortunately did don't get selected for some reason even though I thought it went very well.
Initial call with a recruiter to gain an insight into the role. This was followed by two subsequent calls with more senior members of staff which entailed more technical questions. A language test also had to be carried out.
