Technical Recruiter, Security

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

As Technical Recruiter, Security, you'll join the small team of recruiters who hire for that organization, owning full lifecycle recruiting for your searches and partnering with security leaders to turn ambiguous needs into clear search strategies. Security professionals are among the most heavily recruited people in technology, and earning their attention takes real domain fluency rather than a template.

What it asks for · 6

• Deep full lifecycle recruiting experience, with substantial time supporting security, infrastructure, or comparably technical engineering organizations
• Ability to hold a substantive technical conversation about security domains such as application security, cloud and infrastructure security, detection and response, identity, or compliance, and to evaluate technical qualifications rather than match keywords
• Proficiency with an applicant tracking system like Greenhouse and other modern sourcing tools
• Experience partnering directly with hiring managers on intake, bar calibration, and interview loop design
• Sound independent judgment on candidate quality, and the ability to independently partner with multiple hiring managers on complex searches
• Genuine interest in Anthropic's mission and in the role a strong security function plays in achieving it

Also a plus

• Experience recruiting at a high-growth technology, AI, or machine learning company
• Working knowledge of the security credential landscape and clear judgment about where those credentials carry signal and where they do not
• Experience hiring for engineering, incident response, threat intelligence, insider risk, or physical security
• Experience improving recruiting processes, market maps, or interview architecture where they were thin or absent
• Comfort using LLMs to accelerate sourcing, research, and market mapping

What the job covers

• Own full lifecycle recruiting for a portfolio of roles across the Security organization, from intake through offer and close
• Run structured intakes with security hiring managers, translating ambiguous needs into scoped requirements, calibrated bars, and search strategies
• Build and maintain pipelines of specialized security talent, with an emphasis on passive candidates
• Refine security interview loops, take-home assignments, and scorecards alongside hiring managers, your recruiting counterparts, and Recruiting Operations
• Develop genuine domain fluency so you can hold a credible conversation with a detection engineer, a cryptographer, and a compliance lead in the same week
• Advise hiring managers with market data and candid calibration feedback, and influence decisions through credibility rather than volume
• Partner with Compensation, People Partners, and Mobility to structure equitable offers and guide candidates to close
• Handle sensitive role and candidate information with discretion, including for searches whose scope is confidential
