What Metaview sells

AI helpers that speed up company hiring

Hiring new people means a lot of slow, repeated work for recruiting teams. Metaview builds AI helpers that take over much of that busywork, so companies like Brex and Airtable can hire faster and more precisely. The human recruiter stays in charge while the AI handles more of the toil.

Time on market
Open 95 days. Ask why it's been hard to fill.
Company hiring
15 sales roles open, hiring at a steady pace.

Red flags

Worth asking about

  • Open 90+ days. This role has been posted for three months or more. Ask why it's been hard to fill, and whether anyone left it.

Green flags

Based only on what the posting says. Flags are a starting point for your first call, not a final judgment.

Questions to ask on the first call

Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.

  1. 1.

    This role has been open a while. What's made it hard to fill?

    The answer tells you what candidates saw that made them walk.

  2. 2.

    What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?

    OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.

  3. 3.

    What are the base and the OTE for this role?

    No point investing hours before you know the number.

  4. 4.

    Who's the economic buyer, and who else is in the deal?

    Selling to a CFO and selling to a developer are different jobs.

  5. 5.

    What's the annual quota, and how was it set?

    A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.

  6. 6.

    Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?

    New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.

When the offer comes

Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.

  1. 1.

    Can I see the full comp plan in writing, including clawbacks and accelerators?

    What's in writing is what gets paid. Read it before you sign.

  2. 2.

    Can I see the actual comp distribution for the team last year, not just the OTE?

    The spread shows what most reps really take home. OTE is just the target.

  3. 3.

    I'd be walking away from earned commission to join. Is there room for a sign-on bonus to help cover that?

    Leaving money behind is a fair reason to ask. The worst answer is no.

Full posting
Metaview is an AI company focused on recruiting. We build AI agents that help world-class companies hire with radically more speed and precision. We automate the toil, and augment the human for companies like Brex, Affirm, Deel, ElevenLabs, and Airtable. Founded by Siadhal https://www.linkedin.com/in/siadhal/ and Shahriar https://www.linkedin.com/in/s16h/ after their experiences scaling Uber and Palantir, we’ve raised $110m from top-tier investors including Google Ventures and Insight Partners. It’s still day 0: Now is the time to re-engineer how work gets done with AI at the core, and our toughest challenges still lie ahead. We’re looking for people seeking the hardest, most fulfilling work of their lives.   HOW WE WORK Four principles guide us: - Velocity. Optimize for rate of learning. Take action, get feedback, get better. - Hospitality. Sweat the experience. Delight customers, candidates and colleagues, even when it’s inconvenient. - Transparency. Public unless private. Share context openly within the company so people and agents can take initiative. - End-to-end. Deliver outcomes, not tasks. Step beyond your job description and see the work through.   THE ROLE Our EMEA sales team is growing quickly, and we’re hiring a Sales Manager to report to the Director of Sales, EMEA help us build the leadership and operating foundations for the next stage of scale. You’ll take ownership of a customer segment and lead its people, performance, and playbook. This is not a role for someone looking to inherit a finished system: you’ll partner closely with senior leadership to own building the coaching, reporting, onboarding, and operational structures the team needs to grow without lowering the bar. Key ownership areas: - Own the performance and quota of a sales segment (SMB / MM) - Recruit. lead, coach, and develop a growing team of quota-carrying sellers, reinforcing a high bar for execution. - Adapt and scale our MEDDIC and Command of the Message sales playbook for your segment, creating a repeatable approach that can scale. - Establish the operating cadence, reporting, and performance visibility needed to run the team effectively. - Partner with sales enablement to turn training and methodology into consistent execution across the team. - Help hire and onboard exceptional sales talent as the EMEA organization expands.   WHAT YOU BRING - Experience leading a high-performing B2B sales team; depth of experience matters less than evidence that you are an exceptional leader. - A builder’s mindset, with experience creating or improving sales playbooks, systems, and operating structures rather than only inheriting them. - Strong coaching and talent-development skills, with a track record of raising the performance bar for sellers. - Systems thinking: you can translate ambitious growth goals into clear processes, reporting, and team rhythms. - Excellent customer-facing judgment and the ability to support sellers in complex commercial conversations. - Experience in mid-market, SMB, or building a new regional sales motion; expertise in any one of these can be a strong fit. - High agency, high standards, and the comfort to operate in an environment where there is still a great deal to build.   WHAT WE OFFER - The best co-workers you’ll ever have, in an environment that fosters cohesion, collaboration, and performance. - Supreme rate-of-learning as we re-orient how the world works with AI. - High compensation, through cash and equity. - All the benefits you’d expect and more.
