All about us…
We’re small, we’re mighty and we love what we do
Gabriele are a team of recruitment consultants who specialise in the creative industry.
Our story began roughly 25 years ago, back when we were known as Gabriele Skelton. Since then, our industry knowledge and connections have grown bigger and bigger (although the size of our team has stayed about the same). And now we’re one of the most respected and recognised names in creative recruitment. Why? – because we know great creative, can spot awesome talent, and we share integrity in all we do.
We’re proudly boutique, and fiercely passionate about making quality connections. We’re less about making a quick buck and more about helping you find your perfect career match. We’re into long term relationships, not just one-night stands.
More about us…
We work with some of the creative industry’s hottest start-ups and boutique agencies, as well as industry big hitters and strategic hothouses. We cover design & creative, creative services, client services & project management, strategy, and business development, mainly within design, branding, and integrated agencies.
That’s enough about us!
We want to hear about you! Drop us a line if you fancy getting involved or if you need a helping hand to assist your next career move.
