Founded in 2018 by Francois de Wet and later joined by Marnus Broodryk, Wamly has evolved from a video-interviewing tool into an integrated hiring platform that bundles one-way video interviews, applicant tracking, skills and psychometric assessments, and background checks. The platform is used to assess candidates in 147 countries and is positioned as a software-first solution for scaling hiring processes. Wamly emphasizes augmenting recruiters’ work rather than replacing people, a stance highlighted by its lead investor. With the newly raised Series A, the company plans to expand its AI capabilities across the hiring workflow, grow its team, and enter new international markets. The fundraising and investor backing aim to support Wamly’s scaling ambitions and broader adoption beyond South Africa.
