Senior Recruiting Coordinator [fixed-term contract]

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.

As a Senior Recruiting Coordinator at Anthropic, you'll be the go-to on: owning end-to-end coordination, serving as the subject matter expert on pipeline health and capacity, and supervising the scheduling automation, including deciding when a candidate needs a human instead of the automated path. Beyond scheduling, you'll partner directly with Recruiters, Sourcers, and Recruiting Managers to drive process improvements, own the escalation path, and ensure seamless coverage across your pod. You'll lead coordination projects as needed from problem to adopted solution, and help define what this role becomes as tooling evolves. 

• →

  Automation Supervision: Run the scheduling tools for your pod. Set them up, check their output before candidates see it, and decide when a loop needs a human touch instead of the automated path. Every intervention is a judgment call you own.

• →

  Pipeline & Capacity: Serve as the subject matter expert on your pod's pipeline. Work directly with Recruiters, Sourcers, and Recruiting Managers to surface bottlenecks, flag capacity concerns, and recommend what moves first when things are tight.

• →

  Complex Scheduling: Own the high-stakes scenarios end to end: changes, cancellations, and rescheduling decisions, made independently while keeping stakeholders informed.

• →

  Escalations: Own the escalation path for your pod. When interview plans arrive incomplete, scorecards lag, or declines pile up, you flag the pattern and drive it to resolution with your manager behind you.

• →

  Project Work: Own projects end to end, from problem to adopted solution.

• →

  Coverage: Coordinate coverage across your pod during absences and surges so candidates never feel the gap.

• →

  Candidate Experience: Keep the experience high-touch and warm, including the recovery when the automation gets something wrong. You're the point of contact who can always say where things stand.

• 4+ years of experience in recruiting coordination, with demonstrated experience in high-volume complex scheduling environments

• Hands-on fluency with AI tools in your daily work, and the judgment to know when to trust the output and when to override it

• Proven ability to own and improve processes, with examples of leading projects or initiatives that drove measurable impact

• Strong partnership skills: you know how to work alongside Recruiters, Sourcers, and Hiring Managers as a collaborative, trusted advisor

• Excellent judgment and the ability to make independent decisions on scheduling changes and prioritization

• Clear, professional communication skills with a talent for keeping multiple stakeholders aligned

• Comfort with ambiguity and a proactive approach to problem solving. You don't wait to be told what to do

• A genuine interest in Anthropic's mission and our deep commitment to AI safety

Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

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.

Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.

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.

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
