Barden, Ireland’s leading Talent Advisory and Recruitment Firm, is proud to announce the appointment of Conor Murphy ACA as a Consultant.

Conor has come on board as a Consultant with our Engineering Team and will be supporting Jonathan Olden on a variety of emerging practices, playing a key role in supporting clients nationally.

Originally from Cork, Conor holds a degree in Economics from UCC and an MSc in Corporate Finance. He began his career at KPMG in Cork, working in audit and completing his ACA exams. After qualifying, he spent four years in Australia as an accountant for a ski resort while living in Melbourne. Post-COVID, Conor relocated to London and transitioned from finance to recruitment.

“I have been fortunate to develop and maintain strong relationships with the Barden team over the years. Knowing Siobhán from our time together at KPMG, reconnecting with Brian in Australia, and meeting Johnny and Ed over the last 7-8 years has been invaluable. It’s all about who you work with, and I am very excited to join such a friendly and successful team. After being abroad for the last seven years, I’m thrilled to return to the Cork market, bringing the experience I have gained and eager to learn from the rest of the Barden team. I’m particularly excited about the unique projects we’re currently working on and how we can make a difference for Cork-based talent and businesses.” Conor Murphy |Consultant | Barden
