Metaview raises $60M Series C for agentic recruiting

Metaview, the London-founded company behind the Agentic Recruiting Platform, has raised a $60M (€52.1M) Series C led by Insight Partners, with GV, Intrepid Growth Partners, Seedcamp, Vertex Ventures US, Plural and Garuda Ventures participating.

The round, announced on 1 October 2026, takes the company’s total funding to $110M, per its announcement. The job list for the money is unusually specific: make Fillmore, the company’s autonomous recruiting agent, generally available; build new agents, including a dedicated AI screening agent; open a New York office and grow the team from 80 people today to around 250 by the end of 2027; and scale 10x Recruiting, the training community Metaview runs for talent professionals.

“The best engineering teams have already moved from writing code by hand to orchestrating AI agents that do the work. Recruiting is next,” said co-founder and CEO Siadhal Magos in the announcement.

From interview notes to an autonomous coworker

Metaview was founded in 2018 by Siadhal Magos and Shahriar Tajbakhsh and spent its first years on a deliberately narrow wedge: AI notes for job interviews. That wedge did its work. More than 7,000 companies now use the platform, including Deel, Affirm, Navan and Replit, and it has recorded over 6 million interviews, per the announcement – the kind of proprietary dataset you only build by being useful somewhere unglamorous first.

The product today runs across the whole hiring funnel: sourcing, application review, screening, scheduling and interview intelligence, with Fillmore – yes, the autonomous recruiter has a first name – as the coworker that strings them together. In one company-reported example, the agent sourced and contacted 52 candidates, booked five screens and the hire closed in 30 days. Some customers report time-to-hire down more than 75%, per the company. Company-reported numbers, both – but they describe the thesis precisely: the funnel runs itself, and people keep the decisions that matter.

An AI-in-HR market compounding at 24.8%

The market Metaview sells into is one of the fastest-compounding in enterprise software: global AI in HR was worth $3.2bn in 2023 and is forecast to reach $15.2bn by 2030, a 24.8% CAGR (Grand View Research, August 2024). Growth like that has a cause, and Insight Partners’ Ryan Hinkle named it in the announcement: “The recruiting process is generating more candidate volume than most organizations know how to handle.” AI did not just build the tools; it built the flood of AI-written applications the tools now exist to manage. There is a certain circularity to that – and a durable business inside it.

For scale against our own records: Spott’s $21M Series A for AI-native recruitment software (led by Balderton Capital, 22 September) and 50skills’ €5.3M round for AI agents in HR workflows (24 September) were the largest recruitment-tech cheques we had logged this quarter. Metaview’s $60M sits a full stage above both – the first growth-stage round in the cluster.

Four recruitment cheques in ten days

So what does the cluster tell us? In ten days, our funding data has logged four European equity rounds in recruitment and people tech: Spott in Leuven, 50skills in Reykjavík, Ahron’s €2.2M backed by Cusp Capital on 30 September, and now Metaview in London. Different stages, different geographies, one thesis: hiring is repetitive, permissioned and already sits on a system of record – exactly the terrain where AI agents earn their keep.

The reality of this round sits in its lead line: at Series C, the cheque that sets the terms still comes from New York, not from a European growth fund. The good news is two lines below it – Seedcamp and Plural, the European early backers, are still on the cap table at the growth stage, and the company they backed is still building from London while opening in New York, not relocating to it. That is what a maturing application layer looks like from here: Europe keeps the company and the compounding; the US buys in at the growth round.

What to watch over the next twelve months: whether Fillmore’s general availability converts 7,000 note-taking customers into agent customers, and whether the next $60M cheque into European recruiting AI carries a European lead. The volume problem is not going away; the companies solving it are increasingly ours. Watch the funnel.
