About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the Role: 

Anthropic is looking for an experienced Recruiter, Policy & Comms to partner with our Policy & Communications Team teams. In this pivotal role, you will be instrumental in shaping our organization by partnering directly with senior leadership to build out these critical functions.

This role will report to the Head of G&A, Comms, and Policy Recruiting.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain trust with key stakeholders across Policy & Communications functions by having a high calibration on talent needs and studious on introducing candidates with a high probability of being hired 


• Enhance and implement recruiting processes and programs while maintaining an inclusive and high talent bar, such as developing targeted outreach campaigns, building connections with industry leaders, and removing any unfair biases from the hiring process 


• Monitor and share recruiting trends by being data & operationally strong - set out strong program management frameworks for each requisition, expectations from the hiring partnerships and review the data to troubleshoot roadblocks that hold up hiring great talent


• Collaborate with leadership and cross-functional partners to understand organizational needs and map out talent acquisition strategies that balance priorities


• Act as a custodian of Anthropic’s culture by deeply understanding our mission and screening out candidates that don’t showcase our mission, culture, and values


• Coach and mentor hiring managers and teams recruiting best practices, emerging sourcing techniques, interview innovations, and workplace trends

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a specialism across either policy or communications profiles - you’ll evidence this with examples of your calibration to the profiles with strong pass through rates at the HM Screen


• Have a proven track record of scaling and building diverse and high-performing teams in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment


• Are comfortable where things are not fully built and help hiring teams to build structure and excellence in the hiring processes


• Have strong stakeholder management experience - you’ll be able to share where you have established frameworks of operation that drive the hiring process and simultaneously coach and teach hiring teams to build high quality recruiting processes


• Possess strong organizational skills and attention to detail means you are on top of your data integrity and maintaining regular connection points with candidates and hiring managers


• Are comfortable and confident in pulling, analyzing and interpreting key recruiting data - show evidence of linking the key metrics together to monitoring recruiting health and using this to maintain an excellent hiring experience


• Demonstrate a passion for AI's potential to positively impact the world and realistic assessment of its risks and limitations

Deadline to apply: 

• We will close this public posting on January 8, 2025.

The expected salary range for this position is:

Annual Salary:

$170,000—$220,000 USD

Logistics

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
