AI Fluency Workshops
🙌 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. 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. Considered, engaging, and never once patronising. What I also really appreciated is that the support doesn't stop when the camera turns off. Questions emailed through afterwards? Answered. That kind of continued support is rare and it really does make a difference.
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.
I have just recently finished a 6 month AI course and today I learnt more from Vanessa in an hour and a half than I learnt on that course. 10/10 Vanessa is fantastic and is incredibly knowledgeable. She teaches in a humorous way which is very engaging and I can’t wait to learn more from her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Vanessa trained our team to be up to speed with the latest AI sourcing techniques. It was money well spend! Super practical and insightful. She is capable of making the complex world of AI into something simple to use. All that with a fantastic sense of humor 🙂 For our team of recruiters Vanessa is an inspiration.
I really enjoyed this AI training series with Vanessa. I was already using AI regularly in my day-to-day work, but each session introduced new ways to use it more effectively and helped me improve the prompts and workflows I was already relying on. I've definitely noticed better results since putting those tips into practice. All three sessions were engaging, informative, and easy to follow. You can tell a lot of thought went into making the content practical and immediately applicable. I came away with a lot of useful takeaways and would absolutely recommend this training to anyone looking to level up how they use AI.
I highly recommend Vanessa for her AI training expertise. I was referred to her by my NPA Worldwide network who gave her high marks. They were right! I have been in recruitment for 15 years and needed to tweak my knowledge for finding specialized candidates via AI. I have utilized AI for many things but I needed another resource for finding exceptional candidates other than LinkedIn. Vanessa NAILED IT. She guided me to utilize ChatGPT/open AI and other platforms to identify a strong list of quality potential candidates with the exact expertise I am looking for. She's amazing and well worth the valuable time and money spent. Thank you Vanessa!
We had the opportunity to do a two-day candidate sourcing and AI training with Vanessa last week, what an experience🔥 She’s knowledgeable, approachable, and makes even complex topics easy to understand. Vanessa is such an engaging trainer, that you almost don’t want her to stop talking😉 every insight is interesting and practical. Highly recommend her sessions 🙌
Talent Sourcing Training
Really enjoyed Vanessa's sessions on alternative candidate sourcing and outreach techniques delivered in an engaging and friendly manner. Some great food for thought and would recommend to those starting their talent sourcing journey or experienced consultants looking to add some different tools. Most of her techniques are free or low cost!
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:
Vanessa shared her valuable insight with the Zitko team over the three separate sessions. Engaging and thought provoking content on areas that we may have typically taken for granted in the past. Pace of the sessions was spot on. Tips and Tools really useful. Definitely recommend - thank you Vanessa!
I would highly recommend Vanessa's courses to any talent sourcers' looking to expand their skillset and explore fresh approaches to candidate sourcing. Vanessa's engaging personality and expertise make the learning process enjoyable and impactful. She provided extensive data and frequently checked in to support each participant’s progress, ensuring that the content was both relevant and practical. Thanks to her training, I feel well-equipped to apply these new techniques in my work as a recruiter. Thank you Vanessa
Two days with Vanessa in training felt less like a lecture and more like plugging into a sourcing superpower ⚡️. She doesn’t just teach recruitment and sourcing she makes it exciting, relatable, practical and instantly useful. Our team walked away with new tools, sharper strategies and way more confidence (plus a few laughs along the way 😎). If you want your recruitment team to level up without the boring buzzwords, Vanessa’s your go-to. 🚀

Subsequently we have journed beyond this training course and regularly engage with each other.
Personal and Employer Brand Consulting
I have just finished working with Vanessa and I cannot recommend her more highly. She has really helped me focus on not only my business, but me & my personal brand. Vanessa brings a wealth of experience and is incredibly knowledgeable on hints, tips & tricks, but what really sets her apart is her warmth & humour, mixed with a gentle nudge to take me out of my comfort zone. If anyone needs a refresh in their way of thinking or working, or some work on Branding, or Talent Sourcing, I would really recommend Vanessa Raath.
Vanessa Raath doesn’t just teach sourcing, she helps you show up. She’s got serious skill when it comes to finding people, but what really stayed with me was her advice on how to engage them, especially on LinkedIn. I’m new to this world after a 6-year career break, and it was Vanessa who encouraged me to be more authentic. The result? A post that hit 2,000 likes, 330 comments, and over 80,000 views in 72 hours. She also helped me rethink how I source. In a candidate-driven market like ours, her tips have been gold, practical, effective, and instantly usable. Vanessa’s energy is huge, and her support doesn’t stop when the training ends. She checks in. She praises. She genuinely wants you to succeed. Can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s brilliant!
I’ve been in the sourcing game for years, but taking Vanessa’s courses on sourcing and personal branding reminded me that there’s always room to grow. She doesn’t just teach tips and tricks — she challenges you to think differently, to sharpen your approach, and to believe in your ability to find even the most hidden talent. Every session with her is both a learning experience and a confidence boost. If you want to level up your sourcing skills and feel empowered doing it, Vanessa is the person to learn from. Thank you! Gracias!
