Expert360 NZ | Hire Elite Talent On-Demand in New Zealand & Australia

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)."

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are the Experts in your network, and how are they selected?

Every Expert is individually assessed before joining. We accept roughly 10% of applicants. In consulting, most have previously worked for tier-1, tier-1.5, and tier-2 consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Big 4).

And for all other talent categories, they've held senior industry roles at ASX/Fortune 500 companies, or have deep specialist backgrounds in their field.

You have the ability to review full profiles, past engagements, and references before committing.

How quickly can an Expert be engaged?

Most clients receive a matched shortlist within 48 hours of briefing us, and Experts can typical begin work within the same week — sometimes the same day for urgent needs. The rate-limiting step is usually client-side scheduling rather than ours.

What kinds of projects do people use Expert360 for?

Common engagements with Expert360 are strategy and transformation projects, M&A and due diligence support, growth strategy, interim and fractional executive roles, and specialist expertise (digital, operations, finance).

Engagements range from a few days of advisory to multi-month project leadership. If you're not sure what type of talent you need, try our recommendation tool — and our team is always ready to help you find the right solution.

How does pricing work, and how does it compare to a consulting firm or other alternatives?

Experts set their own hourly or day rates, and you'll have the ability to review proposed rates for your project from matched Experts.

Most clients find engagements cost materially less than an equivalent traditional consulting firm, because you're paying for the Expert directly rather than a firm's overhead and leverage model.

What happens if the Expert isn't a fit?

In the exceptionally rare case where an Expert isn't the right fit, we'll work with you to give notice to the Expert, and help find a suitable replacement from our network.

Who's already using Expert360?

Over 3,500 clients have engaged Experts through Expert360. We've been operating since 2013 and have a network of 40,000+ vetted experts across Australia, New Zealand, and the rest of the world.

Startups and scaleups, PE-backed companies, mid-market leaders, professional services firms, government agencies, and many more types of organisations have all worked with us to achieve their talent and project goals. Over half of the ASX 200 have used Expert360 to engage talent.
