The interview process consisted of four stages, each designed to assess different aspects of a candidate’s qualifications. It began with a personality assessment intended to evaluate traits such as communication style and overall fit with the company’s work environment. The second stage was a video interview, where candidates responded to structured questions about their background, experience, and interest in the role.
Those who advanced then completed a live interview with a member of the talent acquisition team, which focused more deeply on their experience and motivations. The final stage of the process was a case study, where candidates were asked to analyze a scenario and demonstrate their problem-solving and analytical abilities.

Question 1
They asked me to complete a case study in which I had to identify and evaluate potential industry experts who could provide relevant insights for a client’s research project. The task required explaining why the selected experts were qualified, how their experience aligned with the client’s needs, and how I would approach contacting and vetting them.
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.
