Metaview, an agentic recruiting platform startup, has raised £45 million in a Series C round led by Insight Partners, with participation from GV, Intrepid Growth Partners, Seedcamp, Vertex Ventures US, Plural and Garuda Ventures. Coming just a year after its previous round, the raise brings Metaview's total funding to nearly £85 million.
Founded in 2018 by former Uber and Palantir leaders Siadhal Magos and Shahriar Tajbakhsh, Metaview started out capturing the conversations where hiring decisions take shape, and has captured more than 6 million interviews to date. That shared context now powers connected AI agents across the rest of the hiring process. Agents source candidates before they apply, review inbound applications against the role brief, conduct structured screening conversations and turn human interviews into clear, usable notes, while people set the criteria and make every final decision. More than 7,000 companies, including Deel, Affirm, Navan and Replit, use the platform, with some reducing time-to-hire by more than 75%.
Recruiting is an $800 billion industry still largely run on manual processes, fragmented tools and human guesswork, and AI is adding to the strain. With applying for jobs now trivially easy, the volume of applications per recruiter has increased 412%, while 53% of job seekers experienced employer ghosting in the past year.
The funding backs three priorities. Metaview is bringing fillmore, its autonomous recruiting coworker, to general availability alongside new specialist agents. Headcount is set to grow from 80 to 250 people by the end of next year, with a New York office opening alongside existing hubs in London and San Francisco. The startup is also doubling down on 10x Recruiting, its community and training programme helping talent professionals develop talent engineering, the discipline of building and running AI-powered hiring systems. The raise follows Metaview's recent acquisition of AI-native recruiting startup Reval.
The best engineering teams have already moved from writing code by hand to orchestrating AI agents that do the work. Recruiting is next. We're rebuilding hiring with AI at the core to make it radically more efficient and precise, while creating a better system for everyone involved.
The recruiting process is generating more candidate volume than most organizations know how to handle. Metaview has built a platform that brings more structure and intelligence across each stage of hiring, from sourcing and screening through to the final decision. The result is better hiring decisions at scale, without losing the judgment that good hiring requires. We are excited to partner with Siadhal, Shahriar and the team for the next phase of growth.
Metaview has become a key part of how our recruiting teams operate globally. It's helped increase our capacity and give hiring teams the shared context to make faster, more informed hiring decisions, supporting how we're building and scaling a high-performing global team at Airwallex.
