About

A new practice, with long roots.

NOW Matters (Pty) Ltd was formally established in 2025 as the careers, talent, and workplace arm of a psychometric practice that began over a decade earlier.

The roots of NOW Matters.

NOW Matters carries the talent, recruitment, and workplace consulting work that grew within a psychometric and consulting practice Jean and Karina Olivier founded in 2013. The educational and assessment side became CE App (our sister practice). The work continues; the houses are now separate.

A psychometric and consulting practice founded by Karina Olivier and Jean van Vuuren. Career, talent, and workplace work grows alongside the educational assessment practice.
The educational and assessment work consolidates under the CE App name. Careers and workplace work continues internally.
NOW Matters (Pty) Ltd is formally established as a separate entity for the careers, talent and workplace work. CE App (Pty) Ltd continues the educational side.
