Metaview Acquires Reval to Boost Shift From AI Assistants to AI Coworkers

HR Tech · Recruiting 3 min read

Metaview, the Agentic Recruiting Platform trusted by more than 5,000 companies, has announced the acquisition of AI-native recruiting firm Reval. Founders Seth Tilliss and Aditya Gupta will join Metaview to accelerate development of fillmore, its autonomous AI coworker that owns recruiting top of funnel — from sourcing candidates all the way to booking qualified screening calls.

Beyond assisting hiring teams and recruiters with note-taking or drafting emails, fillmore was built to source candidates, run personalized outreach, follow up, and book qualified screening calls with minimal intervention. Since its initial announcement in June 2026, more than 2,000 hiring managers and recruiting teams have joined the waitlist, making it one of Metaview's fastest-growing product launches. The Reval acquisition expands Metaview's engineering team as the company prepares to bring fillmore to more customers.

"We're at the point where AI is moving beyond helping people do their jobs faster to owning entire workflows, and recruiting is one of the domains we believe that shift can genuinely work."

— Shahriar Tajbakhsh, Co-founder & CTO, Metaview

Buying builders, not just technology

For Metaview, the deal is less about acquiring a product and more about acquiring the people behind it. Tajbakhsh described the move as bringing exceptional builders onto the team, noting that Tilliss and Gupta are seasoned operators who have spent years exploring the same problem from a different angle. Their arrival, he said, strengthens the company's conviction in where fillmore is headed and will help the team get there much faster.

Founded in 2023, Reval approached autonomous recruiting from the services side rather than the software side. Instead of building tools for recruiters, the company built an AI-native recruiting firm where AI sourced, screened, and delivered candidates for customers directly. Working with more than 100 enterprises and recruiting agencies — including FabFitFun, Enver Studio, and LangChain — Reval helped customers hire faster and at a fraction of the cost of traditional recruiting agencies.

"We chose to join Metaview to take our thesis to thousands of organizations and reinvent recruiting at scale."

— Seth Tilliss, Co-founder & CEO, Reval

From assistants to coworkers

The acquisition reflects a broader shift in how AI is being deployed at work: moving away from assistants that merely augment individual tasks toward AI coworkers that own complete workflows end to end. Tilliss pointed to the combined reach as the draw — Metaview already works with more than 5,000 companies, and thousands of teams are waiting for fillmore. Just as importantly, he added, the Reval team gets to build alongside a group that shares the same view of where recruiting is headed.

Metaview positions itself as the Agentic Recruiting Platform, with AI agents that automate sourcing, application review, interviewing, reporting, and recruiting workflows. Founded in 2018 by former Uber and Palantir leaders Siadhal Magos and Shahriar Tajbakhsh, the company is backed by Google Ventures and counts Brex, Decagon, ElevenLabs, Airtable, and Replit among its customers.
