Expect questions like “Why sales?” and “Why AlphaSense?”, along with a high-level discussion of your experience and communication skills. Overall, it wasn't too difficult as the interview with the hiring manager was pretty conversational.

Other Sales Development Representative (SDR) interview reviews for AlphaSense
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AlphaSense (London, England) in May 2026
Interview
Very smooth interview process. I was contacted and progressed quickly through each stage whilst being given ample time to prepare. Very kind staff and seems like they genuinely want to help.
Recruiter took some time to get back to me (about 3 follow up messages) and the interview itself was 45mins. It felt like she was reading off a list of questions and not listening to my answers because the questions directly related to my previous answers. The recruiter also did not turn on her camera so the conversation felt one way. That said, she was friendly and answered all my questions about the role.
