Employer profile: How AlphaSights hires international students

Carrie Li, Talent Acquisition Manager at AlphaSights, talks about exciting opportunities for new grads at the firm and career pathways for international students.

AlphaSights is a global information services firm that provides clients with knowledge on-demand. Our mission is to unlock human knowledge and power success for our clients, our people, and our company.

Our clients are top decision-makers in investment management firms, private equity firms, strategy consultancies, and corporations – we connect them with industry experts who have the knowledge they need to make more informed and competitive business decisions.

AlphaSights has a high-performance culture based around driving client success. We hire ambitious, values-aligned, early-stage professionals and offer them an environment where they can own their results, build a track record of achievement, and accelerate their career advancement.

All entry-level members at AlphaSights join as Client Service Associates. We have two offices in the US – New York City and San Francisco.

The Client Service Associate position is open to mainly undergrad students or candidates with less than two years of full-time working experience.

For those who are fluent in English as well as Hindi, Chinese, or Korean, I would highly recommend applying to the Asia International Team, as we are always looking for strong, bilingual candidates. We’ve established a global team based in our New York office, which specializes in servicing Asia clients on US-facing work.

International students with three years of OPT can join one of our Associate Client Service roles. Strong performers are eligible to apply to be a Manager after 2 years, after which AlphaSights will sponsor an H-1B visa. If the visa is not granted, the individual will have the opportunity to relocate as a Manager to one of our other international offices – typically Hong Kong or Dubai.

[Students with only 1 year of OPT] can join one of our global offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo, London, Hamburg, or Dubai – wherever they have the right to work.

Review all of the opportunities we have available by visiting our career page, and to consider which location you would like to work in. We have offices in nine global cities, so chances are that even if you do not have STEM OPT, for example, you might still be able to pursue the Client Service Associate journey in one of our other offices.
