Anthropic Opens 6th European Office, Plans to Triple International Staff
Anthropic opened its sixth European office in Milan on May 28 and said it plans to triple its international workforce, building on hubs in London, Dublin, Zurich, Paris, and Munich as it races for AI talent. Its London expansion alone secured space for up to 800 staff, up from 200-plus today.
Why Is the Company Hiring?
Surging international demand for its Claude models among enterprises
Intensifying competition with OpenAI, Google, and xAI for top AI researchers
A push to localize sales, safety, and engineering presence across Europe
New enterprise ventures (with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs) requiring regional staffing
Impact Analysis
The expansion makes Anthropic one of the most aggressive AI hirers in Europe, with London research-engineer listings reportedly ranging from £260,000 to £630,000. It intensifies the UK and EU talent race and stands in sharp contrast to the layoff wave hitting incumbent tech firms.
