Overview

Our Frontier Lab Hiring explorer is a daily archive of Anthropic’s and OpenAI’s job postings. We scrape both labs’ public careers pages every day and use the scrapes to build a history of their job postings. For each role we record when it appeared, what the posting said, how long it stayed up, whether it reappeared and how its wording changed. Then a language model classifies every posting into a common set of categories. Counts and postings are shown with a seven-day delay.

Job postings are not one-to-one with hires. A lab may post a role it never fills. It may also hire several people against a single posting: one Software Engineer advert can lead to several hires.
