Anthropic updated its hiring policy to allow job applicants to use AI, aiming to balance AI proficiency with authentic human skill evaluation.
Candidates can now collaborate with Anthropic's AI chatbot, Claude, for tasks like refining resumes, crafting cover letters, and preparing for interviews.
However, the company emphasizes that direct skills assessments and live interviews will remain strictly human-only, believing AI should enhance human capabilities, not replace them.
The new hiring guidelines reflect tensions in the tech world on hiring AI-proficient talent without undermining core human skills evaluation, providing a playbook for others to navigate the automation-authenticity balance.
