马斯克下场抢人,xAI组建“人才狙击队”,极客版HR年薪168万
3 6 Ke· 2026-01-22 08:10
马斯克要亲自下场抢人了。 最新消息,xAI正组建一支「AI人才狙击队」,直接向马斯克汇报。 这支特种队伍将与xAI的工程团队和招聘团队紧密合作,探索快速、大规模招聘优秀人才的新方法。 值得注意的是,xAI把这一岗位称为「人才工程师」,而非传统意义上的HR。 比起人力资源管理背景的应聘者,公司希望该岗位能由「极客」担任,以工程思维做招聘。 马斯克BOSS直聘 马斯克在搞一种很新的招聘方式。 组建一支工程思维的「AI人才狙击队」,搭建工程化的招聘体系,快速识别、触达并吸引各个领域的顶尖人才,主打一个用工程师招工程师。 体系搭好之后,团队成员还要亲力亲为,从头到尾参与招聘流程,始终站在一线。 xAI认为,想从常规人才市场招真正的顶尖人才,没戏。还得靠熟人推荐、线下活动、竞赛选拔、特定线上社区,以及各种更具创造性的渠道。 因此,应聘者的工作重点不是在LinkedIn上发私信,而是能在各种场合如鱼得水,通过极强的判断力,一眼找到最强的那个。 所以必须要具备基础的技术直觉,应聘者需要熟悉Vibe coding,最好从小就自己动手做过一些酷炫的产品。这样,和候选人交流时,才能理解对方在说什 么。 与人相处的能力同样重要。x ...
