Prothya Biosolutions uses advanced methods to isolate proteins from blood plasma and turn them into life-saving medicines. Prothya produces plasma-derived medicinal products under its own brand for use in immunology and critical care, and we make our knowledge and infrastructure available to various partners.
Sanquin Plasma Products was separating from Sanquin Blood Bank. Sanquin Plasma Products was acquired by Prothya Biosolutions and merged with Plasma Industries at the same time. This resulted in two teams merging and entirely new positions and strategies needed to be created. Prothya Biosolutions then needed support to ensure a smooth transition and cultural integration.
As there were many new positions at the same time, Prothya Biosolutions was looking for a supplier that could give them a broad range of profiles as the roles did not exist in the organisation before. The candidate’s personality, company cultural fit and strategic approach to tasks were very important for these roles, as they were key positions in the company.
The team at Panda provided valuable the team at Prothya with market insights and strategic workforce planning to help this rapid growth.
At Panda, our recruiters took a proactive, collaborative approach with Prothya Biosolutions, working closely with hiring managers to craft effective solutions around salary expectations, location preferences, and experience levels. For each role, we delivered a shortlist of at least five highly qualified candidates, each meeting core requirements while bringing unique expertise and diverse backgrounds. This tailored approach helped Prothya Biosolutions find the best fit for each position, maximizing both compatibility and specialised skillsets for each role.
Panda International sees Prothya Biosolutions as a valued partner and we continue to evolve our collaboration. The recruiters at Panda always look at presenting the best possible solutions for Prothya Biosolutions short and long term organisational objectives.
I have been working as a Talent Acquisition Manager at Prothya Biosolutions since 2016. Panda has proved to be a reliable supplier with good knowledge of the labour market. Not only within the biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry but also in other fields. The recruitment consultants at Panda are easy to get in contact with, have a can-do mentality and keep the best interest of the client top of minds. The recruiters are willing to adapt according to the needs of the clients and most importantly they have good candidates every single time.
I generally carry doubts about new agencies to work with, are they able to present better candidates than we can find ourselves or other agencies can provide?
Yes, Panda International can. I would definitely recommend them, that’s why they are one of our main suppliers.
