The future of HR is smarter, faster and more strategic. Let's build yours.

What does Bourke Consulting offer?

Bourke Consulting provides outsourced HR consulting to technology and professional services organisations across Ireland and beyond. Based in Cork, we partner with business leaders and founders to bring clarity, structure and strategic thinking to their people function — combining hands-on HR expertise with the latest AI tools to deliver smarter, faster and more impactful outcomes.

We're not just keeping up with how HR is evolving - we're helping our clients lead that change.

A smarter approach to HR — powered by people and AI

The way businesses manage their people function is changing rapidly. AI is transforming everything from recruitment and onboarding to performance management and employee engagement. At Bourke Consulting, we help SMEs harness these tools practically and confidently - cutting down on admin-heavy processes, surfacing better insights and freeing up your time to focus on what matters most: your people and your growth.

Whether you need help identifying the right AI tools for your HR function, redesigning workflows to drive efficiency, or upskilling your team to work alongside new technology - we can guide you through it.

Strategic HR that works the way your business does

HR doesn't work in a silo, and neither do we. For your people strategy to truly support your business objectives, it needs buy-in from leadership, the right technology in place, and a clear connection to where your organisation is headed.

We work collaboratively with you and your management team, not just to put policies in place, but to build a people function that actively drives performance, engagement and retention. Our approach is practical and tailored: no unnecessary complexity, no paralysis by policy - just clear, values-led HR that moves your business forward.

Building high-performance cultures in the SME space

Throughout my career I've worked directly with leaders and founders in the SME space to build cultures where people genuinely thrive. I understand the pressures you're facing - from competing for talent, to managing remote and hybrid teams, to doing more with lean HR resource.

I'll work with you to develop a customised approach to attracting, retaining and developing your most valuable asset - your people - while building the operational efficiency that gives your business a real competitive edge.
