Metaview是一家总部位于伦敦和旧金山的初创公司,专注于开发用于招聘流程的人工智能(AI)工具。该公司周三发布声明称,已成功筹集了6000万美元的C轮融资,领投方为Insight Partners。其他参与投资的机构包括GV、Intrepid Growth Partners、Seedcamp、Vertex Ventures US、Plural和Garuda Ventures。此次融资距离该公司上次融资已过去一年,其累计融资总额达到了1.1亿美元。
Metaview, a London and San Francisco startup that builds AI agents for recruiting, has raised a $60m Series C led by Insight Partners. GV, Intrepid Growth Partners, Seedcamp, Vertex Ventures US, Plural and Garuda Ventures also took part, the company said in a statement on Wednesday. The round comes a year after its previous one and brings its total funding to $110m.
“最优秀的工程团队早已从手动编写代码转向使用AI工具来完成工作;招聘领域也将迎来同样的变革,”Metaview的首席执行官兼联合创始人Siadhal Magos表示。
“The best engineering teams have already moved from writing code by hand to orchestrating AI agents that do the work. Recruiting is next,” said Siadhal Magos, Metaview’s CEO and co-founder.
Magos与Shahriar Tajbakhsh(曾任职于Uber和Palantir)于2018年共同创立了Metaview。该公司最初通过录制求职面试视频来收集数据,至今已积累了超过600万份面试视频。目前,Metaview的AI系统能够自动筛选候选人、根据职位要求审核申请材料,并进行结构化的面试沟通。公司强调,所有招聘决策仍由人类员工制定。
From interview notes to agents Magos and Shahriar Tajbakhsh, formerly of Uber and Palantir, founded Metaview in 2018. It started by capturing job interviews and has recorded more than 6 million to date. Its agents now source candidates, review applications against the role brief and run structured screening conversations. People set the criteria and make every final decision, the company says.
目前有超过7000家公司正在使用Metaview的服务,其中包括Deel、Affirm、Navan和Replit等知名企业。据该公司称,部分客户的招聘效率提升了75%以上。今年8月,Metaview还收购了另一家专注于AI招聘技术的初创公司Reval。
More than 7,000 companies use Metaview, including Deel, Affirm, Navan and Replit. It says some customers have cut their time to hire by more than 75%. In August, it bought Reval, an AI-native recruiting startup.
这笔资金将用于进一步开发Metaview的核心产品——“Fillmore”——这款完全自动化的人工智能招聘辅助工具。Fillmore能够自动寻找候选人、发送招聘信息、管理后续沟通流程并安排面试安排。Magos在一篇博客文章中提到,该公司还在开发更多新的AI招聘工具。
What the money is for Metaview is making fillmore, its autonomous recruiting coworker, generally available. The agent sources candidates, writes outreach, manages follow-ups and books screening calls. The company is also building new agents, including a dedicated AI screening agent, Magos wrote in a blog post.
在一个具体的招聘案例中,Fillmore仅用了30天时间就找到了52名候选人,并安排了5次面试;最终被录用的员工从被推荐到收到录用通知的整个流程仅耗时30天。
In one hire he described, AI sourced, researched and contacted 52 candidates and booked five screens. The person hired went from first being sourced to a signed offer in 30 days.
Metaview计划在未来一年内将员工人数从80人增加到250人,并在纽约设立新的办事处,同时继续扩大其名为“Recruiting”的招聘人员培训项目。
Metaview plans to grow from 80 to 250 staff by the end of next year. It will open a New York office alongside its teams in London and San Francisco. It is also expanding 10x Recruiting, its community and training programme for recruiters.
“招聘过程产生的候选人数量超出了大多数企业的处理能力,”Insight Partners的董事总经理Ryan Hinkle说道。
“The recruiting process is generating more candidate volume than most organizations know how to handle,” said Ryan Hinkle, managing director at Insight Partners.
最近几周,其他专注于人工智能(AI)招聘技术的初创公司也纷纷获得了融资:Spott获得了由Balderton领投的2100万美元A轮融资;Jack & Jill则筹集了4000万美元,用于在招聘的各个环节中应用AI技术。一项最新的调查显示,英国的雇主对在招聘过程中使用AI技术最为谨慎。
Other AI hiring startups have raised money in recent weeks. Spott raised a $21m Series A led by Balderton, and Jack & Jill raised $40m to put an AI agent on both sides of hiring. A recent survey found UK employers are the most wary of AI in hiring.
