Anthropic is hiring a lot of people as of March 2022.

Judge as of 2022-03-04, the date the statement was made, not late 2022. True: evidence from around that date shows Anthropic had many open roles or was growing headcount substantially, such as numerous job postings or reported rapid staff growth. Mostly true: active hiring is shown but on a modest scale relative to company size. Mixed: hiring was limited to a few roles. Mostly false: hiring was minimal, with very few openings. False: evidence shows a hiring freeze or no open positions at that time.

2. E2 How Many Employees Does Anthropic Have? (S-1 Update) Mangothrive · 22 October 2026

   “Roughly 50 people worked at Anthropic in summer 2022. TIME”

Anthropic's own Series B announcement of 2022-04-29 [E1], about eight weeks after the statement, describes 'a growing team of around 40 people' with 'plans to expand further this year.' An independent source [E2] puts headcount at roughly 50 by summer 2022, which is consistent with active hiring in that period. The evidence shows active hiring and headcount growth, but it does not document numerous open roles or large-scale staff growth around 2022-03-04, so the claim fits mostly true better than true.
