Anthropic has become noticeably less likely to hire beginner technicians against the background of the mass introduction of Claude into everyday work. According to the company's internal study, the share of new technicians among new tech employees fell from 27% to 9%, and by August 2026, AI agents had worked six times longer than people.
The state of Anthropic continued to grow. It was the hiring structure that changed: since the beginning of 2025, the share of entry-level employees in technical units has decreased from 21% to 14%, and the number of vacancies for beginners especially quickly went down after December 2025. Team leaders explained to the authors that Claude is increasingly taking over writing code and finding errors, so the company has become less in need of specialists who used to be assigned such tasks.
AI agents in Anthropic don't just answer questions in chat. They write and check the code, monitor calendars and messages, prepare employees for meetings and perform other tasks with minimal human participation. Already in March 2026, the total operating time of autonomous and interactive agents exceeded the working hours of employees. By August, only agents who were launched by people themselves had accumulated six times more working hours.
At the same time, the staff began to produce much more results. In six months, the number of changes in the code per engineer increased by about five times. Lawyers processed more contracts, sellers made more deals, and financial professionals held more accounts. The authors warn that all the increase cannot be attributed to Claude: Anthropic itself grew rapidly in the same period.
