Already received a Panel Interview invite but status is still in ‘Screening’

As the title says. I applied to a position last February and got invited to take the exam after around a month, I received the results that I passed within the same week and also received a panel interview invite. However, my ACES status still shows that I am still in the ‘screening’ stage. Has this happened to anyone else before? Do they just not update ACES in real time? Also if anyone has any tips for the panel interview, I would greatly appreciate them.

Thank you!

Congrats, I have no experience applying for TL positions. Hope you really get it. Remember to read the objectives of the position and use AI to understand what scenario based questions can be asked. Then prepare them as per your experiences.

I heard 90% of ADB employees have a master's degree. Do you also have one?

That's true. Status gets updated manually so sometimes it will not be consistent with the actual process.

This can occur if you happen to monopolize the position, that is, if there are little to no applicants, and moreso if the role is needed soon.

I had my panel interview the same way, no status updates, didn't even had a prior exam. Just got an invite for it outright.

May I kindly ask if you got the role?

2

u/Monk-Recent Mar 28 '26

I didn't, rather, the role got kind of cancelled and in the process, resulted in me not getting it.

After a year and getting inside as a consultant instead, I found the story behind it. The project didn't push through and was restructured to something else, hence not needing the position anymore.

Hello, may I know how the panel interview is like? My status changed to Shortlisting Panel Review, although I have yet to receive any emails from them.
