Very interesting course

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!

Best Sourcing & AI Trainer!

Vanessa is great in her training content and method. She is an SME in AI and sourcing. I have done a lot of her training over the years and am a repeat customer. I keep growing in my specialism and knowledge through Van.

Call her

In all fairness, I must say that V and I go way back. She's a friend & I am biased in her favour. Saying that, she is also my go to for technical recruitment training. I listen when she speaks. Her library of knowledge is vast but she's also excellent at incorporating her learnings from the global community. You get her opinions but also the knowledge coming out of Europe and the US. We've recently completed one of her short courses, which added great value to me personally.

AI Workshop with Vanessa Raath

Firstly, Vanessa is very accommodating. I could not attend her sessions during early March and she accomodated me at an early (SA) morning session with a group of Austrialian clients. So Big Shout out that this flexiblity made it possible for me to join. There is something for everyone in TA in this workshop. The content was presented well. Easy to understand. Open questions and engaging with us all the time. Asking for most challenging real time challenges and demonstrating how we can utilize the tools to help ourselves. I left feeling empowered, more relevant and definitely more informed.

Great AI for Beginners webinar

Van is so informed and enthusiastic, it is always great doing training with her. Her AI for Beginners course was so helpful and insightful, I recommend it to anyone (HR or not) who is getting started on their AI journey.

I just completed Vanessa's online academy!

I recently completed Vanessa's online training academy, and I couldn’t be more impressed! The content is incredibly relevant and perfectly tailored for professionals in the talent-sourcing industry. I focused on four modules that aligned closely with my business model, and they were packed with actionable insights. I loved having the flexibility to pause the lessons and apply the strategies in real time—it made the learning experience even more impactful. After finishing the training, I feel re-energized and excited to dive back into my work. I highly recommend Vanessa's online academy to anyone looking to sharpen their skills. Plus, she’s equally engaging and inspiring in person. Thank you, Vanessa!

Business Details

  • Vanessa Raath is the Founder and Director of The Talent Hunter, a globally recognised talent sourcing training business she launched in 2019. As a former teacher turned recruiter, Vanessa blends education, empathy, and expert sourcing techniques to help recruiters level up their game.

    Since founding The Talent Hunter, she’s trained thousands of recruiters from over 100 countries and delivered keynotes on five continents. Her training helps teams uncover hidden talent, build standout personal brands, and create outreach that actually gets responses. In 2023, after building a five-month waiting list for her training, she launched The Talent Hunter Online Academy — a self-paced platform that now sells courses before they even go live.

    In 2024, Vanessa added a new string to her bow: AI for Recruiters Workshops. These interactive sessions guide recruiters through prompt mastery, digital avatar creation, and custom GPT building, showing them how to work smarter (not harder) in an AI-driven world. She’s now trained hundreds of recruitment teams to harness AI without losing the human touch.

    Vanessa is hands-on in every part of her business: building new content, testing tools, and staying ahead of the sourcing curve. When she’s not leading a workshop or recording new lessons, you’ll find her on a beach walk or in the South African bush, capturing wildlife through her camera lens.
