SINCE 2003

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.

Company Started

2003

Optimum Recruitment Group was started by Owner and Managing Director Brad McMahon. Brad was previously the General Manager, Queensland of Recruitment Solutions, a publicly listed recruitment and HR consulting business that was sold to a global consulting group. He was seeking the opportunity to do something different and to offer his customers a more wholistic and partnership based service. As a result, Optimum was created and Brad was soon joined by senior recruitment executives Ben Walsh, Alicia Sumich and Jason Carter.
