The Talent Hunter (Pty) Ltd Anmeldelser 

I recently attended Vanessa Raath's training on talent sourcing and personal branding, and it was fantastic. Vanessa shares practical, relevant insights in a way that is engaging and easy to apply. I walked away with valuable tools, fresh ideas, and greater confidence in my approach!

Impressed by Vanessa's Ai expertise shared both on-line and at various industry conferences, I signed up for a 3 part Ai training course. I implemented the basics and secured senior appointment interviews after the 1st session and have a 3 part plan mapped out to expand my Ai use. By far, the best £300 I ever spent

Vanessa is brilliant- a no-nonsense, highly experienced talent hunter with a genuine passion for developing fellow recruiters. She’s also a gifted communicator who turns challenging situations into opportunities for growth and brand-building. Time spent with Vanessa is always time well spent!

Their approach to sourcing is both strategic and high-energy. They have a remarkable ability to cut through the noise and find candidates who aren't just "qualified" on paper but are the perfect cultural fit. The team is professional, transparent, and—most importantly—incredibly efficient. They handle the heavy lifting of the recruitment lifecycle with a level of precision that makes the entire process seamless.

Vanessa Raath is an exceptional talent sourcing trainer who brings deep expertise into every session. I learnt different sourcing techniques at our training. Vanessa Raath is undoubtedly one of the best trainers you can learn from.

I was trained by Van 5 years ago and again this year - I still found myself amazed at the tips and sheer knowledge she shares. She shows you sourcing tricks you didn't know you needed. She is engaging and prepared for your questions and knows AI like you wouldn't believe. As a recruiter, you must attend at least one session with Van to experience the journey. Tracey Govender

I work in Business Development but was encouraged to sit in on the training for sourcing with AI done by Vanessa. I was skeptical as this is not a needed skill for me in my role. How pleasantly surprised I was that I found so many tools that I now use to make my job easier and my communication with clients more effective! I would recommend her training to the whole team! Game Changer!!

Always a great experience training with Vanessa. Highly recommend.

Vanessa is a LEGEND! She is an exceptional trainer. Her AI for Talent Sourcing session was highly informative, engaging, and interactive. I gained a significant amount of practical knowledge in a short space of time and was able to implement new ideas, experiment with different approaches and achieve improved results immediately after the training. Vanessa is thoroughly researched, well prepared and demonstrates deep expertise in her field. This is not the first time I have trained with Vanessa, and I continue to learn something new each time. I highly recommend training with Vanessa!

Vanessa is an amazing trainer, from what I have heard, she is a genius. I am new to the recruitment world and the training she gave was great. I learn`t so much even though my job spec is not a recruiter. I would highly recommend her to any business.

🙌 If you get the chance to learn from Vanessa, take it. 🙌
I recently completed some training with Vanessa covering AI within recruitment, candidate sourcing, and how we can genuinely enhance the way we work day to day. And I cannot praise her enough.
Her enthusiasm for teaching is infectious. Her delivery is second to none. She has this brilliant ability to make sure that everyone around the learning table, regardless of where they're starting from, truly understands what she's communicating without ever making you feel like you should already know it. Considered, engaging, and never once patronising. Not an easy balance to strike, but she does it effortlessly.
What I also really appreciated is that the support doesn't stop when the camera turns off. Questions emailed through afterwards? Answered. Guidance needed beyond the session? It's there. That kind of continued support is rare and it really does make a difference.
Vanessa is a genuine thought leader in AI and recruitment, and if you're looking to get to grips with how AI can work for you in this industry rather than just hearing the noise around it, she's your person.
Thank you Vanessa, we really do appreciate you. 💛

Working with Vanessa Raath was a game-changer for our team.

We recently had her lead a training on AI recruiter searching techniques. I’ve been in this industry a long time, so I don’t say this lightly—it was incredibly impactful.

Vanessa has a rare ability to take something that can feel overwhelming and make it practical, relevant, and easy to apply in real recruiting workflows. No fluff just real, effective ideas you can use immediately.

Every member of my team walked away with new strategies and, more importantly, a higher level of confidence in using AI as a true sourcing partner.

Vanessa is the real deal—sharp, engaging, and loaded with insights that actually work.

One thing I’ve noticed with a lot of training sessions these days is how hard it can be to stay engaged, but that really wasn’t the case with Vanessa. From the start, I found myself fully locked in during her sessions.

She has a great way of balancing solid, in-depth information with keeping things engaging, instead of just overwhelming you with content. It never felt like “information dumping,” which made a big difference.

You can also tell she really knows her stuff. It’s always refreshing being taught by someone who’s genuinely confident and knowledgeable in what they’re sharing. I had quite a few “oh wow, I didn’t know that” moments during her sessions, which made the whole experience even more valuable.

Overall, her sessions were not just informative, but actually enjoyable, which is a rare find.

Our session with Vanessa was awesome, Truly an AI Guru. Also, If you have any follow up questions about the session she responds immediately. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to grow their knowledge in AI.

A wonderful experience that was very enlightening and demonstrated various alternative search strategies and very helpful tips leveraging AI.

Over the last four years I have attended a number of training sessions with a number of providers that taught me very little I can use. The three sessions with Vanessa have given me skills that I did not have before. Real skills that will make me a better Recruiter and have given me searching skills I never had before. Thank you Vanessa and all the best.

Vanessa is an engaging presenter and clearly a deep expert in creative sourcing of specialist candidates. Her courses are easy to consume; you can dip in and out of the bite sized lessons that make up each modules and come back in and pick up any time where you left off. I need to know what other modules she’s made now I want more!!excellent up to date training for those of us bored of the usual suspects for passive talent source and nurture:

I find Vanessa fun, engaging and brimming over with energy and knowledge about her field! It's always a delight to work with her and learn from her!
- Thanks, Van - looking forward to many more shared experiences and engagements!

Very interesting course — highly recommended for anyone just starting out in recruitment, or even for those who’ve been in the industry for a while. I learnt a lot and had a couple of real lightbulb moments along the way. Well done, Vanessa, on your great teaching style — clear, engaging, and genuinely valuable. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with others!

I love Vanessa's workshops - always very engaging and up to date. Vanessa is extremely knowledgeable and always does her utmost to support recruiters by sharing everything she knows! AI is here to stay so it is in our interest to leverage it and Vanessa is making sure of that!
