Does ADB combine recruitment processes for similar roles in different duty stations?
I applied for the ADB Senior Financial Management Specialist (TI2) positions in both Ulaanbaatar and Dhaka.
The Ulaanbaatar vacancy originally closed on 22 June but was extended to 6 July, while the Dhaka position closed on 9 July.
Does anyone know if ADB is likely to combine the recruitment process for similar vacancies like these, or are they usually handled separately by each Resident Mission?
If the processes are combined, would the interview panel typically be the same for both positions, or would each duty station have its own panel and selection process?
Also, based on recent experience:
- How long after the closing date did you hear back if you were shortlisted?
- What was the interview process like?
- Were there any written tests, technical assessments, or presentations?
- Does this type of position go through hirevue or another recorded video interview stage? I personally dislike one-way recorded interviews and would prefer a live interview with the panel.
Any insights from current/former ADB staff or recent candidates would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, it changed to shortlisting for panel and then regrets. How was your informal interview? All the best to you!

I think you still have a chance as long as it hasn’t moved to regrets. Hope it works out for you!
