Gabrielle van Asselt — Co-Founder
Hi, I'm Gabs 👋, founder of Just Gabs, a design specialised recruiter, who tends to work with founders & CDs who aren’t quite sure what they are looking for. I specialise in digital design, motion, branding, and product design, mostly for Web3 startups, tech companies and digital agencies across Europe. But what I actually spend a lot of my time doing is helping teams figure out what the right hire really looks like before the search starts. Whether it’s the state of the market, realities of what you are looking for and the realistic budget and stage rather than just focusing on sending over a bunch of cvs. My network is real and built slowly over the last 8 years. I headhunt, I DM, I show up in communities and I don't spray job boards and hope for the best. I work best in retained or exclusive partnerships, not because it's better for me, but because that's when I can give a role the full attention it deserves. If that's not the right fit for what you need, I'll tell you. If you're hiring: Let's have an honest conversation about what you actually need. No sales pitch deck. If you're a designer figuring out what's next: Drop me an email. I'll either help or point you somewhere better I answer best via email: 📩 gabrielle@justgabs.com P.S. I’m remote first, learning to surf, painting badly, adore all animals & tasting new food a LOT. I like to bake average bread when I can, and I have an irrational fear of sharks that I’m slowly improving via Scuba diving. I like real conversations and admitting when I’ve f-ed up, and exploring new ways of working in our modern day world
