The first step in the recruitment process was to fill out a one page online application form. It asks for personal details, a résumé plus a statement regarding one of AlphaSights core values. All of them are mentioned, the applicant is free to pick one and write 200 words about it. There is no time limit for this task. The next step is an online task, it was exactly the same process that other members mentioned here. They give you 5 seconds to prepare and 30 seconds to answer 5 questions. It is awkward since you see yourself on the screen. The steps in the process are very self-explanatory and easy to understand. Make sure you prepare in advance because 5 seconds aren't sufficient enough and there is no chance to redo the questions. I was rejected after that step, they don't give you an explanation or state reasons why you didn't make it to the next step. However, they mention in the email that the task has to be accomplished within 72 hours. I waited for 5 days until I took the online task since I was out of town over the weekend and they send me the task on Friday morning.
