Senior Recruiting Coordinator [fixed-term contract]

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

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.

What it asks for · 8

• 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

What the job covers

• 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.
