Over half of the ASX 200 have used Expert360 to engage talent. Expert360 functions as an on-demand expert network connecting businesses with rigorously vetted independent consultants, fractional executives, and specialist talent. The platform enables experts to set their own hourly or day rates, and most clients find engagements cost materially less than traditional consulting firms because they pay for the expert directly rather than firm overhead and leverage models.
