Metaview raises $60 million, launches Slack recruiting agent fillmore

Metaview is not a newcomer to AI recruiting. The company was founded back in 2018 by former Uber Technologies Inc. and Palantir Technologies Inc. employees Siadhal Magos and Shahriar Tajbakhsh, who now serve as chief executive and chief technology officer. In a blog post, Magos argued that the role of software engineers has already evolved from writing code to orchestrating AI agents, and he predicts recruiters will follow the same path.

The company points to pressing demand. Magos said recruiting is "hard, laborious work" with minimal technology applied, and that companies often scale recruiting teams during hiring spikes only to dismantle them later, which he called expensive, ineffective and painful. He also noted that applications per recruiter have increased 412%, leaving recruiters to spend their days processing application queues, searching profiles, writing outreach, scheduling screens, chasing feedback and shuttling information between systems.

Metaview's expansion plans now hinge on execution. The company intends to add more specialized agents, open a New York City office, and grow from around 80 staff to more than 250 by the end of next year, while expanding its 10x Recruiting training program for human recruiters. Whether enterprises see the same time-to-hire reductions that Deel, Affirm and Replit Inc. have managed—more than 75% on average—will depend on how broadly those new agents are adopted.
