I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AlphaSights in Mar 2014
Interview
Initially contacted through LinkedIn and encouraged to apply for role despite not having any knowledge of the company or type of work. Completed some questions on the application form and got fast-tracked through to video interview. This was mainly competency based but included some random questions including 'tell us about the last book you read' and 'who is your role model'. The video software was very hit and miss and took me two attempts to fully complete it as it kept having errors.

Question 1
'Tell us about the last book that you read' was hugely unexpected and something you are far from thinking about!
Smooth process, first phone calls then zoom interview everyone was very nice and explained 1 person and then 2 people next round was very easy and comfortable would reccomend applying and seeing how you feel

Question 1
What was the most challenging thing you had to do?
30min interview fairly relaxed. Mainly behavioural questions and talking about yourself. 1 question at the end about what you understand the company to do. The interviewer was friendly and helpful. It is optional whether to have your camera on or not.
