Talent Sourcing Training
TALENT SOURCING TRAINING
I believe that Sourcing is a vital skill which can be learned by Recruiters with a desire to achieve more. The type of Recruiter who is consistently trying to secure better passive talent than their competitors. Sourcing is not Rocket Science, it is just the art of thinking differently.
I have trained several Internal Talent Acquisition Teams and several Agency Teams, from all four corners of the globe.
If we do not change our ‘old school’ recruiting mindsets now, you will find yourself without a job in the future. Gone are the days when you could pick CVs off a Job Board and send them to your client. We need to search for talent where they like to spend their time.
This includes searching in a variety of places, for those hard-to-find candidates, aka Purple Unicorns. For example, why are Recruiters so hell-bent on searching LinkedIn, which has millions of inactive users, when there are 2 963 billion active daily users on Facebook? (Datareportal, April 2023). As a quick example, sites like Github, Behance and MeetUp are completely underutilized when it comes to identifying talent.
Due to the overwhelming demand for my Talent Sourcing Training, I designed and built my own Online Academy in March 2023. There are 7 Courses for you to choose from as well as Free Training which can sign up for here:

There is an old saying in the Recruitment Industry that says, “Candidate is King”. This still rings true! If you have been properly trained to find rare passive talent and craft a compelling outreach message to them, I believe that you will always be an incredibly successful Recruiter.
HOW AM I BEST POSITIONED TO TRAIN YOUR RECRUITMENT TEAM?
HERE ARE SOME QUICK FACTS…
- I have 17 years of recruiting experience, 10 years focusing on the Tech space.
- I launched the first SourceCon Sourcing Community Chapter meeting in Africa in 2018. I am determined to raise the profile of Sourcing in Africa so that we can be on par with our global counterparts soon. Feel free to join our online community here.
- I was invited to present at SourceCon‘s Annual Conference in Seattle, USA in March 2019 & October 2022. I delivered Keynote Presentations on DE&I in Recruitment. I have since presented at several global conferences like the Sourcing Summit in Sydney & Amsterdam, Talent42, Talentnet Live and the European TalentPRO & Recruitment & Resourcing Conference, to name a few. I also presented at The Recruitment Network‘s Annual Conference, in London, in June 2022.
- I previously worked as an internal Talent Acquisition Specialist for 10 years. During this time, I grew the company from 35 people to over 200 without using the services of any 3rd party recruitment agencies. I also cancelled all of our subscriptions to the Career Portals / Job Boards & LinkedIn Recruiter licences saving the business thousands of Rand annually. Teaching myself how to source properly was vital in order to achieve these things.
- As a qualified teacher, with experience in adult education too, I firmly believe in the value of small-group training. I love to work with Recruiters, training them to source candidates for the hard-to-find roles that they are currently looking to fill.
- I have presented at several conferences & events – SQL Saturday, MS Developer User Group, Women in Tech, Recruiters Unite & Devconf, to name a few. I am on the committee of Women in Tech as well as an Ambassador for GirlCode. Needless to say, I am very well-connected in the African Recruitment Industry.
