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.

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.

    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.

  2. 2.

    What are the base and the OTE for this role?

    No point investing hours before you know the number.

  3. 3.

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

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

  4. 4.

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

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

  5. 5.

    Where does pipeline come from: inbound, SDRs, or me?

    Tells you how much of your week is prospecting versus selling.

  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: We’re hiring our first dedicated Mid-Market Sales Manager in San Francisco, alongside a counterpart in New York. Each manager owns revenue, people, and performance for the Mid-Market segment in their market; in San Francisco, you’ll report to the VP of Sales. The playbook is largely written and productive AE teams are already in place, but neither market has a finished system. You’ll build on that foundation with a high-agency team that moves fast and owns its pipeline. In your first three months, you’ll work with Recruiting to fill open roles, assess each rep’s development needs, and show measurable impact on the segment forecast through hands-on deal coaching and a stronger operating cadence. Key ownership areas: - Own Mid-Market quota, revenue performance, and the segment forecast in San Francisco. - Recruit, onboard, lead, coach, and develop quota-carrying Mid-Market AEs, partnering with Recruiting to fill open roles and creating individual development plans from a team gap analysis. - Reinforce pipeline generation standards and MEDDPICC deal qualification, adapting the existing playbook to the team’s needs rather than building a new one from scratch. - Run pipeline-generation prep and wrap-ups, weekly pipeline and forecast reviews, and the reporting needed to see where performance needs attention. - Work alongside reps on live deals, offering direct coaching that improves deal conversion and consistency; partner with sales enablement and PMM to turn training and methodology into daily practice. WHAT YOU BRING: - A record of leading quota-carrying sales teams to consistent quota performance in a high-velocity motion, with the ability to have an impact from the start. - The ability to identify, attract, and develop strong AE talent in a competitive hiring market, and to give direct, real-time coaching on deals. - Experience holding a high bar for pipeline generation and MEDDPICC qualification while giving high-agency reps room to own their work. - A builder’s approach to improving operating rhythms, reporting, and an existing sales playbook rather than relying on a finished system. - A growing operational playbook and readiness for second-line leadership or an expanded-region role within 12 months. 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.
