Siadhal Magos, CEO & Co-Founder of Metaview: $14 Million Raised to Power the Future of AI-Driven Hiring

Welcome to another episode of Category Visionaries — the show that explores GTM stories from tech's most innovative B2B founders. In today's episode, we're speaking with Siadhal Magos, CEO & Co-Founder of Metaview, an AI assistant for hiring that has raised over $14 Million in funding.

Here are the most interesting points from our conversation:

• Founding Insight: Siadhal and his co-founders recognized that crucial hiring data was locked in interview conversations, leading them to create Metaview to capture and analyze this data for better hiring decisions.
• Evolving the Solution: Although the problem has remained consistent since 2018, advances in AI and LLMs have significantly enhanced Metaview’s ability to provide actionable insights from interview data, making the product more valuable.
• Challenges in Adoption: While the product concept is widely accepted, adoption can be slowed by multi-stakeholder sales processes and competing internal priorities within target organizations.
• Bottoms-Up Go-To-Market Strategy: Metaview’s initial focus was on tech companies similar to those the founders had worked at. As the product evolved, the target market broadened, allowing for a bottoms-up approach that leverages direct end-user engagement.
• Founder-Led Marketing: Siadhal attributes the success of their marketing efforts, particularly on social media, to authentic and knowledgeable communication directly from the founder, focusing on topics where he holds true expertise.
• Creating a New Line Item: Metaview often requires customers to create a new software line item in their budgets, which is justified by the product’s significant ROI—saving recruiters six to ten hours per week.
