I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied on the website then they sent me a video interview and a motivation test.
The video interview consisted of 4 questions: you have 15sec preparation and 60sec to reply to the question. The motivation test consisted of 3 different questions; you needed to reply writing at max 200 words.
The first stage was the online application.
(Just the very basic information needed, no lengthy application involved )
The second stage was the video interview (About 4 to 5 questions in this section, and about 1 minute to answer each of them )
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AlphaSights (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jun 2015
Interview
Headhunter contacted me via LinkedIn. Following this I had a Skype interview with one of the HR employees. Very pleasant conversation, the interviewer mostly asked questions about my CV and the Alphasights in general.
