Metaview Series C: $60M for AI Recruiting Agents, No Valuation

What happened

Metaview, the recruiting software company with hubs in London and San Francisco, has raised a $60 million Series C led by Insight Partners. 123 Every account of the deal names the same backers: GV, Intrepid Growth Partners, Seedcamp, Vertex Ventures US, Plural and Garuda Ventures. 235 One write-up also lists Anthropic in its summary figures, but that name does not appear in any other description of the syndicate. It is best treated as unconfirmed. 1

The round closed on September 30, 2026, and was announced the next day. 35 It brings Metaview's total funding to $110 million, or about €97.4 million. 25 The company says more than 7,000 businesses hire through its platform. 12 It did not disclose a valuation or any revenue figures. 13

From note-taker to "agentic" recruiter

Siadhal Magos (CEO) and Shahriar Tajbakhsh (CTO), both former Uber and Palantir employees, founded Metaview in 2018. 3 The company started in interview intelligence, which means capturing and analyzing what happens in hiring conversations. It now wants to become an end-to-end agentic recruiting platform. 2 Its current pitch covers AI agents that source candidates, review applications, run screening conversations and handle reporting and hiring workflows. 35

The new money has three main uses. The first is fillmore, which Metaview calls an autonomous recruiting "coworker," along with additional specialist agents, including a dedicated AI screening agent now in development. 25 Reports differ on fillmore's status. One says it is already available, while another describes the funding as what will take it to general availability. 25 The likeliest explanation is that the product is in limited release and has not fully launched.

The second use is hiring. Metaview plans to grow from 80 to 250 employees by the end of 2027. 235 The third is a New York office alongside the existing London and San Francisco hubs. 5

A fast funding cadence

The Series C follows soon after the last raise. Metaview's Series B was a $35 million round led by GV, roughly 15 months ago by one count. 3 Another account places it closer to a year earlier and gives the figure as €30.1 million. 5 Before that came a €6.4 million Series A in March 2024 and a €5.29 million seed round in December 2021. 5 Close to two-thirds of Metaview's lifetime capital has therefore arrived in its two most recent rounds.

The crowded field it's entering

The size of this round makes more sense next to the wider AI recruiting market. One tally counts ten US AI recruiting startups that together raised $656 million between July 2025 and July 2026. 4 That money was concentrated in a few companies. Mercor alone took $350 million and is reportedly negotiating at a $20 billion valuation, on annualized revenue above $2 billion. 4 Juicebox raised $80 million at an $850 million valuation after tripling its ARR. 4 Findem ($51 million), Ashby ($50 million) and Paraform ($40 million) fill out the next tier. 4

Against that list, $60 million puts Metaview near the top of the second group, well below Mercor. The comparison is imperfect, because Mercor's business of supplying expert talent for AI work differs a lot from Metaview's software for in-house recruiting teams. Still, it shows where investor enthusiasm is concentrated, and it makes Metaview's silence on valuation more noticeable.

Reading the round

Investors appear to believe that AI recruiting can be a standalone enterprise category. On that view, it is more than a feature that applicant-tracking incumbents can add cheaply. 1 A Series C with a seven-firm syndicate suggests broad conviction, and the 7,000-customer base is a real distribution asset. 12

There are reasons for caution. Metaview has described its moment as recruiting's own "Claude Code moment," a phase in which agents do the work rather than assist with it. 1 One skeptical analysis points out that recruiting software has a long record of promising full automation and delivering only incremental workflow gains. 1 Without disclosed revenue or a valuation, outsiders cannot tell whether the 7,000 customers are mostly paying for the older interview-intelligence product or for the newer agentic tools.

The most reasonable conclusion is that this is a well-supported growth round for a company changing its product under competitive pressure, rather than a breakout signal. Plans to triple headcount and open a New York office show that Metaview is focused on the US market, where Mercor, Juicebox and others are already well funded. The tests for the next 18 months are whether fillmore reaches full availability and whether customers trust agents to run screening on their own. Metaview's eventual valuation will depend on that, and at present it is not clear the company could claim anything close to the multiples its best-funded rivals receive.
