Panda Omdömen 

I had a great experience with Panda International, especially with Aimee Brenner. She took the time to understand my experience and what I was looking for, helped me prepare well for the interviews, and kept me informed throughout the process.

I really appreciated how attentive and supportive she was, from our first conversation all the way through to the offer and contract.

Thank you, Aimee!

Panda International has been very helpful and supportive throughout my journey of building a life-sciences career in the Netherlands! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone on the same boat as me.

Aimee and Merel are very qualified. They conducted the whole process softly and with excellent follow up. Congratulations to Panda for having such a good professionals.

Since my hiring, the whole process went very smoothly, mostly due to the availability and friendliness of the recruiters. Also, every time I had questions or doubts, those were addressed immediately, which is great! I would like to take this opportunity to compliment Fatima, Nadia and Patrick for being always available to me, regardless the subject. I'm still very happy with my experience with Panda.

I've had a really positive experience at Panda. It's a dynamic and fast-paced environment where I've been given plenty of opportunities to learn, grow and take on new responsibilities.

What I appreciate most is the people and the culture. There's a great team atmosphere, people are supportive, and your contribution genuinely feels valued. I've been able to develop both professionally and personally during my time here, while working with ambitious and fun people.

My experience at Panda has been amazing! The team has been incredibly welcoming, and I've been trusted from day one to take ownership, contribute ideas, and help build the business.

I landed a great IVD contract role thanks to Cristina at Panda International. She has excellent knowledge of the diagnostics industry and quickly matched me with the perfect opportunity. Christina was responsive and professional, making the entire process seamless from start to finish. Highly recommend working with her for IVD positions!

Great experience with Panda International! Eliana helped me secure an excellent position and answered all my questions throughout the process.

Both Eliana and Pratik were not only professional but also genuinely friendly and supportive throughout. I'm now settled in my new role and loving life in NL. Highly recommend Panda International if you're looking for international opportunities!

After joining Panda through their internal hiring process, I couldn't be happier with the experience here. Judit was instrumental in guiding me through the transition, making what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and supportive.
From the beginning, Judit took the time to understand my career goals and how they aligned with opportunities within the company. She kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I had all the information I needed to make the best decision for my career path.

What stood out to me about Panda is the team camaraderie. Even during the interview process, I could sense the positive energy and collaboration between colleagues.

This is how it works for them: They will just approach you and then completely ghost you.
I wont recommend Panda-Int as it is not professional 100%
I had the experience with Khanyisile Mabena

This is how it works for them:
They will just approach you and then completely ghost you. You will just be an additional name in their CRM.
Don't take it personal, that's just how they operate.

Panda does not seem to be a legitimate recruiting agency. I read an advert of theirs on LInkedIn for Head of Translational and Precision Medicine that had copied and pasted text from an advert for Head of Biomarkers by ProQR (specifically that the role focused on "CNS and liver disorders"). On the phone the recruiter Rafael Resende said that ProQR was not the company in question, but that he could not tell me what the actual company was nor where it was located. The next day the text of the advert had changed to "oncology and genetic diseases". And I did not hear back from the recruiter, despite a request for an update. I am not sure this agency is real or if they are just collecting people's data.

There is an air of illegitimacy about this recruiting agency. I spoke to a recruiter who refused to divulge any information about the company he was representing and then there was zero follow up and no response to my request for an update. I do not recommend associating with Panda.

In het begin is contact goed en vriendelijk na handtekening en betaling is dat voorbij , op mail wordt niet gereageerd of reactie van bel zelf maar,
- geen vraag meer of alles oke is en zoveel meer
Heb nu samenwerking opgezegd en weer € 1500 armer

Recruitment Agency: Panda International
Recruiter: Eliana Cabral
Location: Netherlands

I'm writing this review to warn others, especially experienced professionals, about my deeply disappointing and exploitative experience with Panda International, specifically with recruiter Eliana Cabral.

I was approached for a role with a major international client (J&J) and initially told the salary would be €3,800 net per month. However, it was later revealed this figure was gross, not net — and on top of that, there were no standard employee benefits. No transport allowance, no meal vouchers, no phone/internet cover, no insurance, and not even clarity on social security contributions. Everything came out of my pocket. When I asked questions, I was met with vague or misleading responses.

Worse still:

My work hours were changed (from 40 to 38 hours/week) in the contract without explanation.

Key details and skills were removed from my CV before being submitted to the client — without my permission.

The contract was entirely in Dutch, even though I don’t speak Dutch, putting me at a clear disadvantage.

I was pressured into accepting a salary that did not reflect my 23+ years of professional experience in data and legal operations.

The final compensation was barely €2,400/month net, which is completely unacceptable for the seniority and scope of the role. It became clear I was being intentionally underpaid, while the recruiter likely earned more in commission than I would in monthly salary.
calculating all that I had to pay out my salary especially to go to the job I will be around 1400 euros leaving in poverty line struggling to pay rent and food this is shocking.

I ultimately withdrew my application to preserve my integrity. Sadly, the client company did not take accountability for the recruiter’s actions, and I was left to face the fallout alone.

⚠️ Be very cautious if you are an experienced professional working with Panda International and Eliana Cabral. Demand clarity upfront, insist on documentation in your language, and do not accept vague verbal promises. This was not just unprofessional — it felt unethical.

hebben mij voorgedragen bij een potentieel nieuwe werkgever. Zou uitgenodigd worden voor een 2e gesprek. Nooit meer iets gehoord. Vind ik erg onprofessioneel.

Bad customer support and late response.

Slow service and bad products.
