Metaview Raises £25M to Become the AI Brain Behind Every Hiring Decision

June 25, 2025

Metaview raised £25 million in a Series B funding round in June 2025, led by GV (Google Ventures), with participation from existing investors including Plural, Vertex Ventures, Seedcamp, Coeluis Capital, True Equity, Victor Riparbelli, and Barney Hussey-Yeo. The company will use the capital to accelerate development of its suite of AI hiring agents — including AI Notetaker, AI Reports, AI Answers, and AI Job Posts — and to expand its go-to-market team in London and its new San Francisco office.

Hiring is one of the highest-leverage activities in any organisation, yet it remains one of the least instrumented. Despite enormous investment in applicant tracking systems, the actual substance of a hiring process — what was said in interviews, which criteria drove decisions, which interviewers are most predictive — remains largely invisible. The result is a function driven by gut instinct, scattered notes, and unaccountable feedback loops. In large organisations, this problem compounds: knowledge of what makes a great hire is fragmented across hundreds of interviewers, with no mechanism to learn from past decisions at scale. This is the gap Metaview was founded to close.

Founded in 2018 by Siadhal Magos and Shahriar Tajbakhsh — both former product and engineering leaders at Uber and Palantir — Metaview built its initial product around AI-generated interview notes tailored to the specific role, stage, and scorecard. It has since expanded into a broader platform: AI Reports surfaces structured hiring insights; AI Answers provides an on-demand assistant for any question about a candidate or process; AI Job Posts generates and maintains job descriptions. The platform now processes hiring data across more than 4,000 organisations, with clients in financial services, enterprise technology, and consumer internet reporting material time savings and improvements in decision quality. What distinguishes Metaview from generic AI notetakers is its purpose-built understanding of hiring workflows — it captures technical language accurately, maps notes to structured scorecards, and connects patterns across every hiring conversation in a company's history.

The Series B funding will accelerate the full vision: rather than simply automating administrative tasks, Metaview is building toward a system that can compound intelligence from every hiring conversation a company has ever had — allowing future decisions to be informed by what actually predicted success in past hires, at individual, team, and company level. This roadmap positions Metaview not just as a productivity tool, but as a strategic asset for companies competing for talent.

GV's lead on this round is meaningful context. GV (formerly Google Ventures) focuses on enterprise, life sciences, and frontier technology, and manages over $10 billion in assets under management. Its investment signals confidence not just in Metaview's near-term commercial traction, but in its potential to define a new category of AI-native HR infrastructure. The recruiting industry is estimated to represent a $200 billion global market, and virtually none of that spend today captures or learns from the conversational data that Metaview is systematically turning into structured intelligence.
