Tier 1 rigour. Without the tier 1 overhead.

Traditional consulting models rely on "leverage" -- billing you for partners while juniors do the work. We flip the model.

We enable direct access to senior strategy consultants who have "been there, done that." We strictly vet for tier 1 skills and experience to ensure only the very best are part of our network of Experts.

With Expert360, you can flexibly engage top-tier MBB, Big 4, LEK, OC&C, & AT Kearney alumni to lead your critical initiatives.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the consultants in your strategy network?

Our strategy talent pool is rigorously vetted and consists primarily of alumni from "Tier 1" firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG), the Big 4, LEK, OC&C, and AT Kearney.

These are seasoned experts who have left large firms to work independently, giving you access to elite-level counsel without the traditional firm overhead.

What does "MBB" stand for/who are MBB consultants?

MBB is the industry acronym for the "Big Three" most prestigious strategy consulting firms in the world: McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and Bain & Company.

When we refer to "Ex-MBB talent," we are identifying consultants who have been rigorously trained and have successfully delivered at these top-tier firms. It is a globally recognised shorthand for elite quality, structured problem-solving, and high-impact strategic capability.Expert360 has the leading network of ex-MBB strategy talent, on-demand.

How is this different from hiring a traditional consulting firm?

The primary differences are speed, flexibility, and cost. With us, you access the same caliber of talent -- often the exact same individuals -- but without paying for the expensive "partner" layer or firm infrastructure. We offer a lean, agile model where you pay only for the talent you need, when you need it.

Can I hire a full team or just an individual consultant?

We support both. You can engage a single subject-matter expert to lead a specific initiative, or we can deploy a full "elite squad" covering various functions (e.g., a project lead, a financial analyst, and a market researcher) to handle complex transformations or deal cycles.

How quickly can a strategy consultant or team start?

Speed is often critical in strategy and M&A. We can typically present a shortlist of vetted, available experts within 48 hours, allowing for rapid deployment to keep your mission-critical timelines on track.

How do you match the right strategy talent to my business?

We look beyond just generic consulting skills. We match based on specific industry experience (e.g., SaaS, Retail, FinTech) and the specific lifecycle stage of your business (e.g., pre-IPO, turnaround, scaling). This ensures your consultant understands your market nuances from day one.

Dave Porter
Managing Director, AFA Insurance
"They were prompt, professional and helpful from the start - only took 3-4 business days to receive applicants, interview and successfully hire an excellent candidate. It was the best experience we have had with a recruitment firm for many years."
Rachel Hall
Head of People & Culture, Chatime AU
"The speed of service is outstanding and not like anything I have experienced with any other agencies. The recruiter kept me informed at all times and was able to pivot quickly when our brief changed."
Kristie Rogers
Delivery Director, Visa AP
“I trust Expert360 to deliver the contracting talent I need quickly, to work together and be flexible (when needed). They have delivered the best talent of all our contracting talent sourcing partners over the past 3 years in Australia (in my opinion).”
