Job description

Applicants must already be located in the Netherlands to be considered.

Bring your competitive edge to business.

At Panda, we’ve noticed something, the best people in sales and recruitment often come from sport. Why? Because the mindset is the same.

You know what it means to show up every day, push through challenges, and keep improving. That’s exactly what it takes to win in business too.

We’re looking for people with a sports mindset: driven, team-oriented, competitive, and hungry to grow. Whether you’ve played at an elite level or just love the grind of training and performance, we want to help you develop, learn, and reach your full potential in a new arena. If you’re ready to take that same energy and turn it into a career in business development and recruitment, we want to hear from you.

Why Panda

How would you like to build your career at one of the Top 250 Fastest-Growing Companies in the Netherlands?

Our culture is about pace, persistence, and raising the bar. We’re on a mission to be the most trusted Life Sciences talent partner. Here, you won’t just fill roles, you’ll deliver game-changing outcomes and set new standards for the industry.

The Role

As a Recruitment Consultant, you treat the market like your arena. You’ll connect high-caliber professionals with innovators across Med-Tech, BioTech, AI, and Medical Devices. You’ll run the full sales cycle, from client acquisition to delivering exceptional talent, all this while building durable relationships and making strategic, high-impact placements.

What you’ll do

• Drive new business: map high-value markets, identify key partners, and build strong alliances in Life Sciences.
• Run end-to-end searches: from sourcing and assessment to offer design, negotiation, and onboarding follow-through.
• Build your brand: develop a recognized personal brand in your niche - trusted, credible, and consistent.
• Shape partnerships: act as a strategic advisor, anticipate needs, and deliver tailored solutions that stick.

What’s in it for you

• Uncapped earning potential: unlimited commission with no thresholds - your results, your rewards.
• Accelerated development: in-house L&D with 1:1 and group coaching.
• Clear promotion pathway: know exactly what “great” looks like and how to get there.
• 4-day work week: qualify for a three-day weekend and prioritize well-being.
• Fully covered pension.
• Luxury performance incentives: think Miami, Dubai, Ibiza…
• Wellbeing budget - 1.2k annually to invest in yourself.
• Exceptional workspace and colleagues.
• Fully equipped gym and showers, no excuses.

At Panda, you’re more than an employee - you’re an innovator and a key driver of success.
