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.

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.

This is the third course I have done with Vanessa. She has incredible knowledge & stays up to date with leading edge trends and technologies. I have come away feeling really inspired about AI and how to integrate this into my business.

I love learning from Vanessa! She has opened up my eyes to a world of AI and brought a new excitement to my work day and confidence in trying these tools out! I love her energy and her content.

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 5 of Vanessa's courses and my mind is blown- this has been an absolute game-changer in my sourcing role. Vanessa's content is to the point, easy to follow and so insightful! I highly recommend all talent and recruitment professionals to sign up for Vanessa's training.

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!

I am just one module short of finishing Vanessa’s course and I can’t even put in words how incredible this course has been. I took the whole Talent Course for non tech recruiters as I am in the pharmaceutical space and I was mostly interested originally in using the whole of the internet to find candidates that no one else can and also how to get a higher response rate to my outreach to candidates. So although the topic of building my digital brand wasn’t initially what I was most interested in, it was proven an incredible source of information. I learnt so much in the space of the last 2 months. I think if you would tell me that tomorrow you’d take my LinkedIn recruiter license away, I would still be able to perform my job. This course is by no doubt the best course I’ve ever done. I can’t be thankful enough. If you have any doubt, just take it and you won’t regret it! Thank you Vanessa

Fascinating. This course really opened my eyes into new ways of sourcing talent. It is clear that a huge amount of research went into this, and no doubt, it will be extremely advantageous to take with me along my recruitment career!

I thoroughly enjoyed the virtual training offered it has allowed me to learn new skills in my own time at my own pace and has opened a new world on sourcing candidates. Thank you, Vanessa for this insightful and effective training.

I like that you learn a lot about getting talent from literally anywhere, either online or in-person. Besides the many tips Van shares, I literally got a huge boost of creativity in talent sourcing.

The virtual training offered has allowed me to develop further in my own time at my own pace and has opened up a whole new world for sourcing candidates. Recruitment is half art and half science, and Vanessa integrates both in her simple, yet highly effective training.

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.

Thanks so much for the wonderful training Vanessa. The training was excellent. It was presented well and the amount of valuable tools and data is amazing. This will certainly be of benefit when sourcing candidates and i would recommend this training to others in the field.

I had been following Vanessa before I signed up for her training, and I was surprised that she scheduled a call to discuss the program with my boss and me. She didn't delegate the call to an assistant, or send me to an automated chatbot. The training was very thorough and easy to follow. Vanessa is great, she checks in, offers tips, and keeps me motivated. 5 stars!

So, I've just completed Course 4 - Helpful Websites, Chrome Extensions & Advanced Boolean to really Level up your Sourcing.
I am officially "levelled-up" Thank you, Vanessa!
If you don't use the the whole internet to search for talent then give this course a go. I would suggest doing the previous courses first though.
Loved the new tips I have learnt and already using them AND saving more time, resulting in quicker results.

Loved it, I heard and learnt things that I never heard of in 21 years of talent souring. Amazing Vanessa, keep it up, thank you so much!

This is an excellent course. Vanessa is an Angel sent from heaven. Thank you so much, I have learned so much and now, I can grow and expand my business further. Nataschia Bloem

Thank you so much for training me on the ins and outs of strategic sourcing as an Absa talent sourcer! The training sessions were of great value to me. In particular, The Internet X-ray session provided me with a positive and valuable perspective on the sourcing process. I am now able to apply the learnings from this session to my daily work. The discussions on Personal branding , growth hacking techniques, especially the refresher on Boolean search, provided me with valuable insights. Now that I understand the importance of personal branding and explore growth hacking strategies, I will be able to identify and engage with top-tier candidates more effectively. Your expertise, dedication and commitment to teaching me the skills of talent sourcing have undoubtedly contributed to my professional development as a strategic sourcer. I look forward to delivering positive results to the Group Risk Team.

I love that trainings can be completed at own time

Vanessa's training is exceptional and I cannot wait to implement all the new things I have learnt. I would highly recommend this training for people wanted to be the most effective sourcers and recruiters.
