Camino Consulting

What Camino Consulting does

Camino Consulting is a South African human capital development and HR consulting firm founded in 2002 and headquartered in Somerset West, Western Cape. The firm operates as a private close corporation (Camino Consultancy cc) with 13 employees and delivers services through four core units: Organisational Development Consultation, Learning and Development Solutions, Psychometric Assessments, and Human Resources Management, with a dedicated recruitment sub-brand (Camino Recruit) launched in March 2021. Its underlying technology consists of scientifically validated psychometric instruments, including the Integrative Enneagram online questionnaire for personality and motivational profiling and competency-based assessment tools, all administered by HPCSA-registered Psychologists and Psychometrists; the HR Audit offering is benchmarked against the South African Board of People Practices (SABPP) HR Practice Standards.

The firm makes money primarily through professional services fees for consulting engagements (project-based, quote-driven), supplemented by managed-services revenue for outsourced HR functions and transaction-fee revenue from Camino Recruit (either a contingency percentage of annual cost-to-company or a fixed-fee sole mandate that includes psychometric assessment). Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting South African enterprises and mid-market companies across banking, retail, manufacturing, agriculture, packaging, chemicals, and technology; named clients include USB, SPAR, Kromco, Mix Telematics, MCC Labels, Karsten, Chiltern Farm, Intelichem, Sondor, and PG Group. Distribution is delivered through on-site consulting engagements, supported by top-of-funnel content marketing via the company blog, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and founder Johann Oostenbrink's personal blog (Ways2Grow). The company has no disclosed funding, no acquisitions, no geographic expansion beyond South Africa, and no AI/ML capabilities documented.
