What Insync Kitchens Cc does

HR InSync is a South Africa-based HR consulting and professional services firm founded in 2005 (originally as TouchStone Recruitment, rebranded in 2008). The company delivers an integrated portfolio spanning the full employee lifecycle: outsourced HR support (organizational design, policy, compliance, employment equity, labour relations), talent acquisition via a proprietary Recruit-Onboard-Retain (ROR) Roadmap, talent retention programs, leadership and team coaching, and energy/climate surveys delivered through its EnergyAccents Profile — the first South African-validated climate survey.

The firm's technology layer consists of two proprietary assets: the TeneoTen Career Builder App, an AI-based career matching tool applying Holland Codes questionnaires, and the EnergyAccents Profile survey instrument. These digital products complement — rather than replace — the core human-delivered consulting model.

HR InSync operates a B2B professional services model with enterprise field sales and referral-driven client acquisition. Customers include South African and multinational enterprises across financial services (a top-4 SA bank, an SA asset manager), industrial engineering (GEA Africa), building technologies (Johnson Controls), biotechnology (BioCair), pharmaceuticals, business process outsourcing (Digicall), payments technology, education (SmartStart), and legal services. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed rates, and engagements range from project-based recruitment campaigns to multi-year outsourced HR partnerships.
