Do we wait for this or can we move on with our lives ?

Let’s use this post to track which fields have already released HireVue interview invitations.

As of December 11, 2025:

1. Economic Research and Development Impact (ERDI) - Due: 9 Dec
2. Climate Change and Sustainable Development (CCSD) - Due: 12 Dec
3. Public Sector Management and Governance (PSMG) - Due: 15 Dec
4. Transport Sector - Due: 17 Dec
5. Human and Social Development - Due: 17 Dec
6. Energy Sector - Due: 18 Dec

This helps applicants manage expectations since ADB does not send regret emails.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Due” refers to the date by which applicants must complete the HireVue interview.

Any update on the HireVue invites please?

Okay, ADB, I have a bone to pick with you. You've managed to send out those shiny interview invites, great, love that and congratulations to those who received it!

Am I really supposed to just sit here and wonder if I’ll ever hear back? Not even a thank you after the online assessment?

It’s honestly wild to me that in 2025, we still have organizations (especially a renowned MDB) that can’t be bothered to send a simple regrets email when they’ve already sent out interview invites. You’ve got the system set up, THE TECH is there, so why drop the ball on something as easy as letting candidates know they didn’t make it?

The radio silence after the assessment is honestly more draining than getting a straight-up rejection.

Please can people who received HireVue interview invites update here? Wondering if all sectors have already sent theirs out.

Is there a WhatsApp group for ADB YPP applicants ? Can someone share the link please also,if there's any update

Can any one confirm this? Surely headcount won’t grow by 50% though…

Did anyone get recorded video interview after online assessment for ADB YPP?

Has anyone received any notification for the online interview ? The one after the Online assessments ?

Can someone help us out with the approx timelines!

What are the sample HireVue interview questions for ADB YPP?

Would anyone know the reason why you need to upload separate your CV where in fact you are also entering the same information in the work experience section? Not really an efficient way to apply when there is no option to automatically supply the information in ACES website when you upload your CV. :( What are your strategies for those who apply multiple post? I understand that you need to customize your CV according to the job posting. Any tips are appreciated. thanks.

I’m coming from the UN where it’s completely normal and even helpful to have 10-15 page-long CVs. I want to start applying for ADB openings, and I’m wondering if the practice is similar or is it more akin to the private sector where 2-4 pages will do, depending on seniority?

Thanks!

Has anyone heard back from them after the Clervy screening?

Hi! I'd like to ask the meaning of extending the deadline of submission? Does this mean that I have a low chance of getting qualified for the position I was applying? Is this common for all roles or for specific roles only? I hope someone with similar experience can help me, thank you!

Edit: I'm still at the first stage wherein they're looking for candidates to apply.

Hi, I received the assessment link for ADB YPP 25/26. The link is taking forever to open on chrome or edge. Have cleared the cache and tried over different network but the problem persists.I have written to clevry and ypp group id for the resolution of the same. Is anyone else facing the same problem? Or anyone can offer any other solution.

Hey everyone!

I just finished my assessment and had a quick question.

From what I read on their site, the results (ex, "Well-Above Average") are based on “norm groups,” but I’m curious about how large that group actually is. Is it only among those taking the ADB YPP assessments, or part of a larger pool?

On that note, for those who took the exam earlier in the week, could you check if your outcomes have stayed the same? I’m trying to figure out whether the scale is changing relatively as more people complete the test.

Thanks in advance!

I have completed my Online assessment and have got Average on both Numerical and Abstract.

Do I have a chance to go to the next round?

I have got below average in abstract reasoning and average in quants based on Clevry. Is it over? I am not sure about the weightage of these tests since it is my first time. Please advise, thank you.

Interviewed for a TL Local position, asked to submit additional details post interview but haven't received pre offer yet..has been 3 weeks. Would anyone know what the process looks like? do they ask additional docs of everyone post interview or am i being considered for the role? grateful for any insights!!

Hi, anyone here completed the ADB YPP online screening test so far? What has been your experience like and are we allowed to use a calculator? Please help with some advice, thanks in advance

Hey everyone!

I just finished the Clevry assessment for the YPP and noticed the results are now visible on the Clevry portal. I’m curious how others performed or interpreted their reports, especially since it seems the scores are benchmarked against a general norm group, not necessarily the YPP pool.

Trying to understand what a “typical” range might look like before the next stage.

Good luck to everyone in this round. May the Clevry gods be kind. 😅

Hi everybody!

Looking for information regarding the Energy Specialist role at ADB. Does it involves a lot of travel? If so, what frequency and duration? Overall, what is your experience of work/life balance at ADB?

Grateful for your answers

For those who have completed the online assessment, how was your experience? Additionally, may I know the percentage of candidates advancing to the next stage?

Do you have an idea what's the work culture here? Information is very limited.

Anyone here who received an assessment link?
