History of myInterview 

myInterview was founded in 2014 by Benjamin Gillman and Guy Abelsohn to transform recruitment by using video interviews that showcase candidates' personalities and skills. In 2018, the Sydney-based startup raised $1.6 million from investors, accelerating its expansion into the UK and US markets. The following year, the company secured $5 million in seed funding led by Aleph, with plans to grow its sales, product, and research teams.  

By 2020, the company supported businesses in Israel and Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic by adapting its recruitment solutions to global challenges. In 2021, myInterview participated in CTech’s post-Covid series, sharing insights into its strategies for navigating the crisis. That same year, the company raised $11 million in Series A funding to further develop its platform, particularly in attracting Gen Z talent.
