Barden is proud to announce that Rachel McGuckian has joined the team as an Associate with Barden’s Technology Recruitment Practice.

“Delighted to have Rachel join our emerging technology recruitment practice here in Barden.  Her work ethic, smarts, and genuine drive to try and make a difference in people’s lives means that Rachel will be right at home here in our team. Once the team at Barden met with Rachel, we felt she was an excellent match for our values as an organisation and her integrity, positive energy and people skills coupled with her strong career motivations really came across to us. Likewise, Rachel felt that Barden was somewhere she could learn and develop as a Recruitment professional and felt it was a natural next step for her career. We’re all looking forward to an exciting future together and we have no doubt that Rachel’s personality will add greatly to the Technology Recruitment Practice here at Barden and externally to our clients and candidates as she continues to immerse herself in the Technology community here in Cork.’ – Killian O’Leary | Partner | Barden

Rachel achieved a first Class Honours Graduate from University College Cork with a Bachelor of Commerce degree, majoring in Human Resources & Leadership. She is a keen sports person highlighted from her at time at UCC, where she was involved with the UCC Ladies Gaelic Football, UCC Ladies Soccer & Swimming teams.

Having spent time working with EY on placement during her studies Rachel subsequently returned to EY to take up a role as an Assurance Associate focusing predominantly on Client Relations & External Audit work.  Earlier this year, Rachel decided to take her career in a different direction and sought to seek out recruitment opportunities, a sector which she feels is more closely aligned with her passion for helping people and seeing them achieving their career goals.

“I am delighted to be joining the team here at Barden and working closely with the Tech Recruitment Practice. Barden’s approach to recruitment is refreshingly different, as they put their people first and take an advisory approach that truly resonates with me. It’s inspiring to work with such passionate individuals, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of the team. I am looking forward to using my professional and customer service experience to create value for people in new and meaningful ways” – Rachel McGuckian | Associate | Barden
