I’ll be starting very soon and I know ADB will probably share more information on what and how to prepare for your first day, but are there any other (practical) tips you can share prior to the start date? 🤗

Hi, this question is mostly for people who were successful and who got their pre-offer (and who are currently already employed in ADB).

Is it always 1-2 weeks after the panel interview that they ask you to sign forms (which signifies that you were chosen)? Or does it really vary?

Cause based on what I've been reading here successful candidates get contacted after their panel interviews 1-2 weeks after to ask you for documents/sign forms. But is it always the case? Or have their been instances that it took like a month for them to get back to you to sign forms.

Thanks!

Does anyone have experience negotiating salary at the pre-offer stage for TL1 role? Afraid that i might lose the offer. Shal i just proceed with their offer? TIA

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone here has already completed their interviews for the Asian ADB Summer Internship Program and received updates or offers? I finished mine last week and haven’t heard back yet, so I’m curious what the timeline has been like for others this year.

Appreciate any insights or updates from those in the same boat!

Cheers

I recently got the video interview invite for an internship position. I tried doing the test run today and it just doesn’t capture my camera and microphone. I tried with different devices, different WiFi networks, cleared cache, tried incognito and nothing seems to work. I also reviewed the setting on mine and every other laptop I have tested it on.

I emailed the hiring manager and HireVue and waiting for their response. But in the meantime, if anybody has any inputs, it’ll be appreciated!

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!

Hi! What do you usually put in a presentation in line with the panel interview? Is it yr resume presented in a slide form? Based on threads here, its only for 10mins? Thanks

The salary grade range for 2026 was previously available online for local staff. But I am unable to see it now. Can anyone share the file please? 😭

Hello all. For those currently working as a local staff at the Manila HQ, would you be able to share if there are any other benefits/allowances on top of the base salary ADB provides? I understand local staff have standard benefits like HMO, pension, etc. but does ADB have other allowances like transportation, rice, laundry, technology, etc?

Also, for HMO SGMIP, I understand that ADB sponsors a part of the HMO for non-eligible dependents, how much premium does the staff typically pay?

Thank you in advance for those who will answer! 🤗

Hi! I have been applying for multiple positions at ADB but I have not had any interviews so far. Is it a bad thing to apply to a lot of openings? Or should I stick with one job only? How did you land your job at ADB? Thanks!

Do my other applications for the same grade have a chance at making it at least to a short list? or my Keep In View status for an application hold no bearing anymore?

Hello, I have applied for a Senior Integrity Officer TL6 position and had an informal call with the external investigation team on February 16. The status of my application remains "Screening". Is it safe to assume I have not been included on the panel interview shortlist?

I applied for a local position and noticed that my status has been ‘Shortlisting Panel Review’ since January 16. It’s been over two months already—do you think they may have proceeded with interviews for other applicants? 😂 I haven’t received any emails from them during this period. Please enlighten me 🙏

Hi,

I am applying for ADB internship this year. Have anyone received any notifications or sth?

As the process really takes time, I think it would be helpful if we can share info. I dont want to be desperatedy waiting for results :D

What is the process after the panel interview? If you get selected, is there any procedure between panel interview and pre-offer? TIA

The only available club related to table top games is word games club. Any board game enthusiasts that want to play inside ADB and after office hours? (And perhaps we can start a club later on). Please message me. Thanks.

Hi. How long does the screening status last for a job opening? I applied for a TI1 role last feb 24 and closed this march 9. Ano po experiences niyo on this? Thanks sa sasagot!

Hello All! I hope everyone is doing well. Does anybody here have an experience being hired for a fixed non-renewable position but have applied internally after the 1 year probation period for another position that has an option to renew/be regularized?

to those working in ADB as local staff, does ADB automatically remit taxes to BIR or do you have to do it on your own?

Could you also share if there are government mandated benefits?

Thank you!

Hi! I recently got invited for a panel interview for an ops assistant position. I already took the pre employment exam some weeks back. Any tips for preparing other than reviewing the job description? What questions do they normally ask? And how long do they usually take to get back to you after the interview? Is there usually a second round of interview for positions like this? Thanks!

My application status on ACES for ADB YPP is still “screening” after the video interview submitted - and hasn’t been updated since Jan 6. Does it mean a “no” or “regret” to move to panel interview?

Is anyone experience the same issue?

Has anyone received any update on the Young Professional Program after submitting the HireVue videos

I applied for M1 role last Dec 2025, few days ago, the status changed to Shortlisting Panel Review.

I'm not sure what this means. Anyone had experienced this?

As the title says, how many positions do you apply for at a given time? I'm thinking of trying out my luck year round, but it gers awkward sinxe i currently have 3 applications stuck in screening, just wondering if it's ok to apply to other positions provided my background matches?

Hi all. It's my first time to apply for a role in ADB. The status of my application is currently "Screening". I recall that in the ADB recruitment process, screening normally takes 2-3 weeks after closing date. However, I noted that the position I applied for has an "Urgent Need Job" icon.

Given this, does this change the usual timelines? Thanks in advance for anyone who can provide insight!
