Hi, I’m Brendan. It’s great to meet you!

Back in 2014, I was at a crossroads in my career. I had a foundation in numbers but it was people that interested me more. My entrance and eventual maturity within the Talent Acquisition industry was centred around my wanting to connect with people - to share insights, to guide them, and to celebrate success with them along their professional journeys. 

Fast forward to 2024 and I’ve come to another crossroads in my own professional journey. Staying true to what motivated me in the past, my wanting to help others succeed remains the same, but this time I'm putting on my entrepreneurial hat. 

Launching Kaishin Consulting comes from a genuine desire to make career transitions smoother and more empowering for everyone involved:

  • For organizations wanting to offer support after making difficult headcount decisions.

  • For those in-between jobs who have so much to offer but are having trouble finding their next home.

  • For new grads and those new to the country who are looking to take their first steps.

For all of you, I am here to help.

I understand how challenging career transitions can be and I’m committed to providing deeply personal support that guides you with confidence. This is more than just a business for me - it’s about creating opportunities for success and growth, one person at a time.
