Barden, Ireland’s leading Talent Advisory, Executive Search and Recruitment Firm, is delighted to announce that Sarah Griffin has rejoined the Barden Leinster team.
After completing a degree in Accounting at NUIG, Sarah began her career in audit with Deloitte before transitioning into a part-qualified role within a large Irish business. Drawn by a desire to move into a more people-centric career, Sarah joined the Barden Leinster team in July 2021, where she spent two years supporting professionals across the operational finance market. In 2023, Sarah relocated to Sydney, where she spent two years with a recruitment firm as a Talent Manager within the accounting and finance practice
“It was an extremely difficult decision two years ago to leave Barden and move to Australia. When I returned to Ireland, I didn’t hesitate to rejoin Barden if everything aligned. It was ultimately the people at Barden and the business’s culture and values that made coming back such an easy decision.
I am most looking forward to reconnecting with the Irish market and rebuilding my network. I am delighted to be back in the team at Barden, where there’s a strong focus on career advice and building long-term relationships.” – Sarah Griffin | Senior Associate | Part Qualified Accountants & Business Support | Barden Leinster
“Sarah first joined Barden in 2021 and very quickly became a core part of our team, so it made her move to Australia in 2024 all the harder. That’s why we’re absolutely delighted to welcome her back.
Sarah’s professionalism, character, and quick humour have been genuinely missed around the Leinster office. When someone rejoins the business, it’s a great opportunity, not just to reconnect but to benefit from a fresh perspective. It allows us to reflect, stay curious about how we’re evolving, and continue to move forward without becoming complacent.
We are really excited for what’s ahead as Sarah steps back into the Part Qualified & Business Support practice, supporting professionals across Leinster.” – Cole Carroll | Head of Organisation Development | Talent Advisory & Recruitment | Barden Leinster
Welcome back to the Barden team, Sarah!
