I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at AlphaSights (London, England) in Jan 2024
Interview
The interview process for the Client Service Associate role at AlphaSights is in 4 stages. The first being a phone screening interview. After that you meet with someone from talent acquisition who asks questions about why you want the position, what are you looking to learn ect. The next round is a case study round where they will give you a task for you to find experts based on a brief and then present these experts and explain your rationale for choosing them. I found this round quite difficult and full on, however I had someone interviewing me who is notoriously harsh.

Question 1
What skills are you looking to develop at AlphaSights?
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.

Question 1
Role a play a scenario based on the case study you're given.
Stay away. Realized how much of a scam it is as I went through- ended on my own accord after final round. There will be no exit opportunities with this company whatsoever. You will be stuck. Know some friends who have worked here and regret every second of it.
