Brad McMahon
Managing Director
Brad is the Owner and Director of Optimum Consulting Group. Founding the company in 2003 he has seen it grow to over 30 staff across Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Brad is responsible for all operational and strategic functions for the group and he still actively recruits executive assignments for a select group of clients.
As Optimum has expanded its service offerings, Brad has become involved in the business development and delivery of human resources consulting, psychological assessments and payroll services. In 2014 he joined the Board of Kinetic Innovative Staffing as a Non-Executive Director to provide strategic advice and direction to the management team. Prior to establishing Optimum, Brad was the Queensland General Manager of an international publicly listed recruitment business where he worked for seven years.
Away from work, Brad is married and the proud father of two sons. He relaxes by playing golf on increasingly rare occasions and is an avid fan of all sports, particularly cricket, football and horse racing.
About Optimum Consulting
In a fiercely competitive business environment, there is one constant: Talent is essential to business success. The ability to attract, engage, retain and develop the best talent represents a significant competitive advantage.
Since our first office opened in Brisbane in January 2003, Optimum Consulting has been focused on people and performance in the workplace. Still to this day, at least 90% of our business is repeat business and over 70% of our placed candidates are referred to us.
Our Recruitment Services
Optimum Consulting have been providing temporary and contract staff to clients. Since we’ve opened, we have placed thousands of contract staff and have placed a healthy percentage of these multiple-times. In particular, we are specialists in:
- Executive Search
- Engineering & Construction
- Supply Chain, Logistics, & Manufacturing
- Accounting
- Financial Service
- IT & Digital
- Administration & Office Support
- Professional Services
- Capability Assessments
We passionately believe the strategic use of contract staff and interim talent is becoming more of a differentiator, elevating top performing organisations above the pack. Contracting is also becoming a career choice for many candidates who enjoy the benefits of working on an assignment by assignment basis.
