By definition from dictionary.com, Gybe is defined as “To shift suddenly from one side of the
vessel to the other when running before the wind, as the result of allowing the wind to catch
the leech.”
To simplify, “gybe” (ji-be) is a sailing term where the stern of a boat crosses the eye of the
breeze, resulting in the sail changing sides of the boat. This “change in direction” is the
inspiration behind our name. We endeavour to positively change the direction of people’s
careers by being a trusted recruitment partner.
