Our Journey

In 2018, industrial psychologist and talent expert Francois de Wet saw a major frustration among corporate leaders. Hiring took too long and was riddled with inefficiencies. Determined to solve this, he created Wamly as a side project, introducing one-way video interviews to streamline recruitment. The impact was immediate, catching the attention of entrepreneur and Shark Tank SA investor Marnus Broodryk, who joined Wamly in 2020.

By 2021, Wamly had secured investment from Knife Capital and expanded into 23 countries. Since its inception, Francois and the team transformed Wamly from a simple hiring tool into a full-scale, end-to-end recruitment solution.

The platform evolved rapidly, introducing document upload, application questionnaires, skills tests, psychometric assessments and background checks, to become a fully integrated hiring suite. Francois and the team continue to transform Wamly by carefully listening to their clients and crafting innovative solutions, making Wamly the preferred HR hiring system.

Today, Wamly operates in over 150 countries, proving that hiring can be faster, smarter, and more effective.
