AlphaSights Video Assessment and Online Written Motivation Statement

Hi,

As part of my application for AlphaSights Associate Programme, I have been invited to complete a video assessment and online written motivation statement.

I would like to ask anyone who has done this the following questions

How was it?

What advice do you have about how I can best prepare for this?

What questions were asked in the video assessment?
How many questions were asked? How much time are we given to answer each question and how much time are we given to prepare for each question?

What exactly is the online written motivation statement? Does it require us to type answers to specific questions or we are supposed to write a statement or...?
How long are we given in order to complete the online written motivation statement?

Thanks!

 

Hi! I did the AlphaSights video assessment for US offices. Some of the questions I remember being asked are - What is a time you had to sell something? - What is something you want to improve on? - In your words, what does AlphaSights do?

Nothing too scary. And it was 15 seconds before to think to answer the question in 1 minute. So you really have to think fast. You don't even have time to write notes down. I think other video things I've done for other companies you've had like a minute or more to think before answering. So it's really fast and there's nothing you can really do to prepare besides obviously have an awareness of your background and what AlphaSights does. And I didn't have to do the writing part.

Thanks! I applied for this job in London. I think I read that only those who applied for the Graduate Programme in London are required to do the writing part.

Has anyone applied to Alphasights in London? If yes- I would like to ask the questions I had posted above including what questions were asked in the online written motivation statement?

Thanks!
