Helping South Africans build careers that stay valuable in a changing world.
PositionMeAI is South Africa’s AI-powered Career Intelligence platform — a division of De Vlamingh & Associates Consulting CC, a South African consulting practice with over 23 years of work in career development, workforce growth, and the practical use of new technology in professional life.
The platform exists because careers are no longer single decisions. They are lifelong journeys — shaped by industries that evolve, technology that shifts, and capabilities that need to keep growing alongside both. Career Intelligence combines Industrial Psychology, South African labour market intelligence and intelligent technology to walk beside professionals at every stage. From a graduate’s first job to an executive’s next chapter.
The future does not belong to people who simply learn AI. It belongs to people who continuously increase their value alongside it. That is the work the platform supports.
Why this is different.
Most AI career content circulating in South Africa is recycled US blog material, dressed up as a framework. PositionMeAI is built on published academic research and active consulting practice in South Africa. Every diagnostic, archetype and ethics callout traces back to peer-reviewed work — not opinion, not a sales funnel.
What we believe.
These are the principles that shape the work — what we will and won’t do in product, copy, and client conversations.
- No outcome promises. We help you build capability. We will never promise you a job, a hire, an offer, or a salary. That language is dishonest — and it’s everywhere in this market.
- Research before opinion. Every claim in our diagnostics, playbooks and ethics callouts cites a real, verifiable source. We don’t fabricate references, and we don’t inflate credibility.
- South African by default. POPIA, the Children’s Act, SANS standards, the Copyright Bill, professional registration bodies — the SA context isn’t a localisation pass we add at the end. It’s where we start.
- AI is a tool, not an identity. The future of work isn’t “learn AI or get left behind”. It’s craft, judgement and relational trust — with AI handling the volume that used to eat your evenings.
- The seat that matters is yours. AI drafts. You decide. We design everything to keep the human in the chair where it counts.
The practice behind the platform.
De Vlamingh & Associates Consulting CC has spent 23+ years working with South African professionals at the moments that matter — career transitions, leadership inflection points, hard decisions about the shape of a life’s work. Our associates have placed, coached, and advised across sectors from financial services to healthcare, education to creative practice, trades to engineering.
That practical body of work is what the diagnostic, the playbooks, and the 1:1 sessions are built on. The platform makes that thinking accessible to far more people than any consulting practice could reach one-to-one — while the consulting practice itself stays open for the moments that genuinely need an expert in the room with you.
How Career Intelligence walks beside you.
The platform builds on itself. Most people begin at the free Career Report, then do the CareerLaunch Sprint to turn that insight into deliberate action, and continue building their Career Intelligence over time. Each step opens the next.
- The Career Report. Free. A 15-minute structured reflection that surfaces where you stand across six capability dimensions and which directions your evidence supports. The entry point.
- The CareerLaunch Sprint. R1,499 founding price (first 20 seats). An intensive, structured programme — AI-generated career analysis, guided cohort sessions, a personal positioning document, and a post-sprint re-assessment that measures how far you’ve moved.
- Career Intelligence Subscription (coming soon). Track your Career Intelligence score over time — quarterly re-assessment, personalised development paths, and AI opportunity alerts as your profile evolves. R299/month. Join the waitlist.
- Senior Consultations. By application, priced per hour, when a real inflection point warrants senior practitioner judgement in the room.
