Tara Beary

RECRUITER.

Hi my name is Tara. I am from Ireland originally and I’ve been living in Barcelona for the past three years. I studied Marketing in Dublin and during my degree I came to visit Barcelona and fell in love with the city. After completing my degree, I was eager to experience different cultures and expand my career in a dynamic, international hub—Barcelona has been the perfect place to do so.
After working here for nearly 3 years, I have recently started to work for Blu Selection. I’m really excited to be part of a team that’s passionate about connecting people with opportunities that can truly transform their careers. Helping candidates find roles that match their ambitions and make a positive impact on their lives is something I’m genuinely motivated by.
