As a technical sourcer, I found this training session to be a delightful refresher. Having had the privilege of training with multiple Talent giants, Vanessa is undoubtedly one of them. While some content revisited familiar territory, there was a plethora of new, meaty information that kept me thoroughly engaged—I even managed to complete three courses over a single weekend; that's just how captivating it was.I now feel incredibly confident in my ability to conduct talent sourcing with enhanced proficiency. My gratitude to Vanessa is immense.This training program would be incredibly beneficial for individuals starting out in sourcing as well, it is talent sourcing on steroids!!! Vanessa's pacing caters to all types of learners, and her use of relevant examples further enriches the learning experience.
