Lead
Metaview, a London and San Francisco recruiting software company, announced a €53.1M ($60M) Series C on October 1, 2026. Insight Partners led the round. GV, Intrepid Growth Partners, Seedcamp, Vertex Ventures US, Plural and Garuda Ventures also participated. The company did not disclose a valuation.
The raise arrives about 16 months after its €30.1M Series B in June 2025. It lifts total funding to €97.4M ($110M) across five rounds, starting with a €5.29M seed in December 2021 and a €6.4M Series A in March 2024.
What Does Metaview Actually Sell?
Metaview sells AI software that automates parts of the hiring process, and it began as a tool that records and summarizes interviews. Founded in 2018 by Siadhal Magos (CEO) and Shahriar Tajbakhsh (CTO), it now covers sourcing, application review, interviewing and reporting. More than 7,000 companies use it, including Deel, Affirm, Navan and Replit, and the platform has recorded over 6 million interviews.
The centerpiece of the new push is fillmore, an autonomous recruiting coworker. It sources candidates, writes outreach, manages follow-ups and books screening calls. In one example the company cites, the agent contacted 52 candidates and booked five screens, and the hire closed in 30 days. Some customers report time-to-hire reductions above 75%, a figure that comes from the company's own customer claims and not from independent measurement.
Where Is the Money Going?
The company plans to spend the round on three things: taking fillmore and a set of specialist agents to wider availability, expanding the team from 80 to 250 people by the end of 2027, and growing its 10x Recruiting training program and community. A New York office will join the existing London and San Francisco hubs.
Metaview also bought Reval, an AI-native recruiting startup, in August 2026. Deal terms were not disclosed. The purchase suggests the company is adding capability by acquisition as well as building it in-house.
What Does This Round Say About the Last One?
The Series C is roughly 1.8 times the size of the Series B, raised in a little over a year. That pace implies investors saw the Series B thesis, moving from interview notes to full workflow automation, hold up in customer adoption. Without a disclosed valuation or revenue figure, though, the market cannot judge whether the price matches the traction. Customer count and interview volume are usage metrics, not revenue.
The round also fits a pattern of capital flowing to AI recruiting agents. Rivals include Spott, which raised a $21M Series A, and Jack & Jill, which raised a $40M Series A. Metaview's advantage is a larger installed base and a fresh round roughly 1.5 to 3 times the size of those, but its competitors are earlier-stage and priced accordingly.
What Are the Risks for Agentic Recruiting?
The main risk is trust. Autonomous outreach and screening sit in a regulated area, where employment law in the EU and several US jurisdictions already scrutinizes automated decision-making in hiring. An agent that books screens without a recruiter in the loop carries more compliance exposure than a transcription tool does.
A second risk is commoditization. Large applicant tracking vendors and general-purpose AI providers can add similar sourcing and scheduling features. Metaview's data from millions of interviews is the likeliest moat, though the value of that data depends on customers continuing to run interviews through its platform.
What Comes Next?
Over the next 12 months, the test is whether fillmore moves from showcase examples to repeatable results across thousands of accounts. Tripling headcount in about 15 months will also strain a company that has so far operated with a small team. A Series D, if one follows, would likely force the company to publish revenue and valuation figures that this round left out.
Outlook
Metaview has secured €53.1M from Insight Partners and a syndicate of repeat and new backers to turn an interview-notes product into an agent-driven recruiting platform. The funding speed and customer list support the momentum case, while the missing valuation and revenue data leave the price of that momentum unclear. Regulatory scrutiny and competition from both startups and incumbents will shape how far autonomous recruiting can go.
