Anthropic, a leading AI startup, has reversed its controversial ban on the use of AI in job applications, particularly for writing the required "Why Anthropic?" essay. Chief product officer Mike Krieger stated that the company must evolve in how it evaluates candidates, reflecting the increasing integral role of AI in job functions today. The decision marks a significant shift for Anthropic, which has been advocating for the adoption of AI technology in all aspects of life, including the hiring process. This change will allow candidates to demonstrate their ability to effectively use AI tools in solving problems during interviews.
I actually was in a conversation this week around how we're revising our interview loop to actually let people use AI, because that is an actual part of the software engineering job today.
We're having to evolve, even as the company at the forefront of a lot of this technology, around how we evaluate candidates.
