Vanessa Raath
Global Talent Sourcing TrainerThe Talent Hunter
Vanessa is globally renowned for her contributions to the international Sourcing Community. She has delivered keynotes across four continents and trained teams from Auckland to Seattle.
Vanessa launched her Talent Sourcing Training business in early 2019 and has not looked back. She is a qualified teacher with experience in agency recruiting and internal talent acquisition (she loved both roles!). She now gets to combine her love of empowering others to do better, with her passion for recruiting through her own Online Academy.
She loves it when her training delegates experience that ‘light bulb’ moment as she knows that she has just changed someone’s career, for the better.
When Vanessa is not doing research for her training, recording content, or delivering a Keynote, you can find her at the Beach or in the South African Bushveld, taking photographs.
