I'm determined to bring the ‘Human Element’ back into today’s Recruitment Process as I believe it has been lacking for too long! I believe that people are the core building blocks of every business but that doesn’t mean that we can treat every ‘block’ the same. I have over 15 years experience in the Recruitment Industry & I have specialised in the Tech space for most of this time. Before starting my career in Recruitment, I taught unruly children in London; operated a ski chairlift in the USA & taught people to Scuba Dive in SE Asia. I launched my own Sourcing Training Business in 2019. I have never been as challenged, yet at the same time, as fulfilled as I am now. I am passionate about raising the standard of Sourcing globally with a particular focus on Africa. I also love presenting about talent sourcing, career branding and sharing my knowledge, and experience, with others. I am often asked to deliver Keynote Presentations at international conferences. When I am not in work mode, you will probably find me having a lekker (vegetarian) braai with family & friends, preferably in the Bush or at the Beach 🙂 You are most welcome to connect with me on Twitter & Instagram too - @Van_Raath
