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: Our SMB sales team is growing, and we’re hiring our first dedicated SMB Sales Manager in New York City to report to the VP of Sales and build the foundations for this segment in the market. You’ll own its people, performance, and playbook. This is not a role for someone looking to inherit a finished system. You’ll partner with sales leadership to build the coaching, reporting, and operating structures that help a high-agency AE team scale its land-and-expand motion. Early success means filling open SMB roles, putting a documented sales process into use, and improving forecast quality and rep productivity. Key ownership areas: - Own SMB performance, quota, and forecast accuracy in New York City. - Recruit, lead, coach, and develop a growing team of quota-carrying SMB AEs, partnering with Recruiting to fill open roles. - Build the SMB qualification framework, discovery standards, and stage gates from scratch, creating a repeatable process for fast-cycle deals. - Establish the pipeline reviews, reporting, forecasting, and weekly deal-review cadence needed to run the team effectively. - Coach reps to land accounts and expand seats, partnering with them on live deals to improve conversion and consistency. - Partner with sales enablement and PMM to turn training and SMB competitive positioning into consistent execution across the team. 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 record of delivering against sales quota in a high-velocity motion and helping a team do the same. - A builder’s mindset, with experience creating a qualification framework or sales process rather than only inheriting one. - Strong, direct coaching and talent-development skills, with the ability to raise the performance bar across a high volume of deals. - Systems thinking: you can turn growth goals into useful pipeline standards, forecasting, and team rhythms without slowing reps down. - Customer-facing judgment and an understanding of seats-based expansion, so you can help reps land accounts and grow them. - High agency and high standards, with the comfort to build a new segment playbook alongside the team you lead. 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.
