Founded in 2013 by Bridget Loudon-Harris, Expert360 combines the speed of a technology platform with the care of a boutique firm to connect organisations with elite contract talent in under 48 hours. With a network of 42,000+ rigorously vetted Experts — including former McKinsey, Bain, BCG and Big 4 consultants, senior ASX/Fortune 500 executives, and deep domain specialists — we give clients access to the right people for any project, at a fraction of the cost of a traditional consulting firm. We serve over 3,500 clients across Australia and New Zealand, including more than half of the ASX 200, as well as startups, PE-backed companies, mid-market leaders, government agencies, and professional services firms. Organisations engage us in three ways: via our Marketplace for rapid individual hires, through Engage for managed project and programme delivery, or through our Contingent Workforce solution for bespoke workforce management at scale. Every Expert is vetted by humans — not algorithms — and we accept roughly 10% of applicants. We handle payroll, contractor compliance and Expert payments so finance and legal teams can sign off in hours, not weeks. From a single fractional leader to a full squad, we help you assemble fewer, better people around your most important work.

We are not a global marketplace. We are not a traditional recruiter. We are a curated local network of 42,000+ vetted Experts, backed by a technology platform and a team that scopes, shortlists, and stays with you end-to-end. Our values — We Own It, Aim to Wow, Always Evolve, Trust, and One Team One Dream — shape everything we do, from how we brief an engagement to how we celebrate our people through monthly Ka Pai Awards. We embrace diversity in all its forms, succeed and fail as a team, and believe the little things make a big difference.

We help organisations find, hire and manage exceptional contract talent for any engagement — a single Expert, a fractional leader, a full squad, a pre-scoped project, or an ongoing managed workforce. Common engagements include strategy and transformation projects, M&A and due diligence support, growth strategy, interim and fractional executive roles, and specialist expertise across digital, operations and finance. Clients receive a matched shortlist within 48 hours of briefing us, and Experts can typically begin work within the same week.

Our mission is to empower people to do the best work of their lives — both the Experts in our network and the organisations they partner with. We believe that by connecting the right talent with the right opportunity, on flexible terms and at fair market rates, we can revolutionise the way companies find and hire talent and help independent professionals build meaningful careers.

We Own It: Own the outcome. Bring solutions, not only problems. Hold yourself and others accountable. Be the change you seek — don't wait to be asked. Aim to Wow: We are precise and concise. Customer and Expert come first. Do your best day's work every day. The little things make a big difference. Always Evolve: Every moment is a teachable moment — prebrief, debrief. Champion the change when something no longer works. Resilience is what you build when things don't go your way. Trust: Always assume positive intent. We move at the speed of trust. Follow through on commitments. Show up respectfully, with integrity. One Team, One Dream: We succeed and fail as a team. Embrace diversity in all its forms. Celebrate exceptional performance. Embrace local significance and excellence.

Most clients find engagements cost materially less than an equivalent traditional consulting firm — because you pay for the Expert directly, not a firm's overhead and leverage model. Our rigorous vetting (only 1 in 10 applicants accepted) means every Expert has the calibre of a tier-1 consulting or ASX/Fortune 500 background. With a 98% success rate, a curated shortlist in under 48 hours, and enterprise-grade compliance handled end-to-end, we deliver the speed of a marketplace with the quality assurance of a boutique firm. Over half of the ASX 200 trust Expert360 to deliver — and we've been doing it since 2013.

At Expert360, we actively embrace diversity in all its forms — as a company value and as a hiring practice. We removed degree requirements as a standard criterion in 2018, recognising that ability and potential are not defined by formal qualifications. We believe inclusive teams and inclusive hiring practices lead to better outcomes for our clients, our Experts, and our own team.
