I'm Carrie , headhunter for 14 years, a lone parent for 13, with strong Manchester roots, even though Barcelona has been home for the past 9 years.
My Little Rants is where I say out loud the things we all think about work, life, and modern madness. Raw, unpolished, and straight to the point.
Perfect for your walk, commute, or coffee break , with a little northern humour on the go.
Because sometimes a little rant is exactly what you need.

Last Sunday the world celebrated powerful women for International Women’s Day.
A week later comes Mother’s Day in the UK.
It made me think about something we rarely talk about - the quiet influence of the women who raised us.
Because whether we realise it or not, much of who we become as adults begins there. The way we see ourselves, the way we handle relationships, the patterns we carry into our own lives.
In this episode of My Little Rants, I reflect on the complicated, powerful and often invisible influence mothers have on who we eventually become.

The Underdog Story That Divided Parents
This week’s one started with a children’s book… and a mum who was furious about the message it might be sending to girls.
But when I read the same pages, I saw something completely different.
So it got me thinking… are we uncovering real problems in society, or are we starting to look for them everywhere?
With International Women’s Day coming up this Sunday, this felt like a good moment for a little rant.

The Human Cost of AI Hiring
Fourteen years in recruitment, and I’ve never seen hiring feel this efficient… and this impersonal.
AI is changing everything, and that isn’t a bad thing.
But when automation replaces conversations instead of improving them, something important gets lost.
In this episode, I talk about invisible candidates, algorithmic bias, ghosting by design, and why hiring will always be human work, no matter how advanced the tools become.
Because recruitment isn’t just process.
It’s trust.
