With over 16 years of experience in the Recruitment Industry, where I predominantly honed my skills in the Tech space, I have decided to give back to this amazing community. Before embarking on a career in recruitment, I taught school children in London, operated a ski chairlift in the USA, and taught scuba diving in Southeast Asia & E Africa.
In 2019, I launched my Sourcing Training Business, and have been constantly challenged and fulfilled. I am passionate about elevating the standard of sourcing globally, with a key focus on Africa. Due to the massive demand for my training, I launched my Online Academy in 2023. My dream is to train Recruiters and Talent Sourcers to find Talent more effectively and efficiently - check it out here: https://academy.vanessaraath.com/
I now combine my passion for teaching and recruitment in order to offer much-needed talent sourcing training to both Agency and Internal Talent Acquisition Teams. It's high time that your Talent Acquisition Team moved from a Reactive Recruitment Model to a model where they source the best Passive Talent in the country. This is the future of Recruitment. Also, what are your Recruiters doing to make themselves stand out as a Recruiter worth talking to? More importantly, where are your Recruiters looking for the best talent to fill your position? If they are still reliant on Job Boards and you are spending a fortune on Recruiter Licenses, you need my training as I will empower you to reduce your spending on both of these.
I am also a respected Speaker in the HR/Talent Sourcing space and have delivered Keynotes across 4 continents - Africa, Australia, Europe and the USA. My most recent presentations were for Sourcing Summit, The Recruitment Network, SourceCon, The Executive Research Association, HRTX Recruiting Daily, TalentPRO, TalentNET, Talent42, DevConf, Recruiters Unite to name a few...
I enjoy sharing my expertise in talent sourcing, particularly diversity sourcing, through keynote presentations at international conferences. When I'm not working, you can find me having a vegetarian braai with family and friends in the bush or at the beach.
