Metaview’s $60M Round Pushes AI Agents Deeper Into Recruiting Workflows
Metaview raised $60 million to expand AI recruiting agents, launch its fillmore outreach tool and grow its team from about 80 people to more than 250 by next year.
Metaview Labs raised $60 million in Series C funding as the recruiting software startup tries to move AI agents from interview note-taking into more of the hiring workflow, SiliconANGLE reported from company statements and a blog post by co-founder and Chief Executive Siadhal Magos.
Insight Partners led the round, with GV, Seedcamp, Vertex Ventures US, Intrepid Growth Partners, Plural and Garuda Ventures also taking part.
The financing lifts Metaview’s total funding to $110 million and gives the 2018-founded company fresh capital as employers look for ways to handle larger applicant pools without rebuilding recruiting teams for each hiring cycle.
The company was started by Magos and Chief Technology Officer Shahriar Tajbakhsh, both former employees of Uber Technologies and Palantir Technologies.
Its pitch is that recruiters can use AI agents in the same way software engineers increasingly coordinate coding agents: people keep control of judgment calls while automated systems perform repetitive preparation, screening and follow-up tasks.
Metaview’s existing agents cover several parts of recruitment.
They can help create job ads, source and screen candidates, review resumes and application letters, and conduct initial interviews.
After those interviews, the system turns candidate responses into notes for human reviewers who decide which applicants should move to in-person interviews.
Humans also set the interview questions and job qualification criteria before the agents begin work.
The operating record is now central to the funding story.
Metaview says its agents have conducted more than 6 million interviews, while more than 7,000 companies use the platform.
Named customers include Deel, Affirm and Replit, and the company says some enterprise customers have cut average time-to-hire by more than 75%.
The market pressure behind that adoption is not just interest in generative AI.
Magos wrote that applications per recruiter have increased 412%, leaving recruiting teams to process queues, search profiles, write outreach, schedule screens, collect interview feedback and move information between systems.
That workload can surge when a company is hiring quickly, then shrink after the spike ends, making manual team expansion costly and uneven.
Metaview is also using the round to widen the product.
Its new fillmore agent can research possible candidates, build target lists, draft personalized outreach, manage follow-up conversations and schedule meetings with people who respond.
The tool is generally available and operates inside Slack, which keeps the agent in the same workspace recruiters already use for coordination.
The company’s growth plan has three parts: add more specialized recruiting agents, open a New York City office and expand its staff.
Metaview has about 80 people today and plans to grow to more than 250 staff by the end of next year across engineering, product, design and go-to-market roles.
A training program called 10x Recruiting is the other piece of that expansion.
Magos framed agentic recruiting as a skills shift for human recruiters, not only a software purchase, leaving Metaview’s next phase tied to whether hiring teams can use the tools while keeping final candidate decisions in human hands.
