Medical Devices Recruitment

The medical device industry isn't just about technology – it's about improving and saving lives. Behind every groundbreaking implant, diagnostic tool, or surgical robot is a team of passionate experts. These visionaries turn cutting-edge science into tangible solutions for patients worldwide.

Medical Devices Diciplines

The medical devices industry transforms healthcare by combining advanced engineering, materials science, and digital health technologies. As the sector evolves, demand for specialized talent grows, creating exciting opportunities across key disciplines that power innovation and patient care.

Regulatory Affairs professionals ensure medical devices meet global compliance standards and navigate complex regulatory frameworks like MDR and IVDR. They play a crucial role in securing product approvals and maintaining ongoing compliance to ensure patient safety.

Quality Assurance experts focus on maintaining the highest standards in product design, manufacturing, and post-market monitoring. Their work ensures that devices consistently meet stringent industry regulations and deliver reliable performance.

This discipline covers the entire lifecycle of medical device creation, from concept and prototyping to testing and market launch. Engineers and designers collaborate to develop innovative, user-friendly devices that meet clinical and patient needs.

Professionals in Clinical and Medical Affairs bridge the gap between product development and healthcare practice. They manage clinical trials, gather evidence of device efficacy, and support the safe and effective use of medical technologies.

Manufacturing and Supply Chain specialists streamline production processes, ensuring devices are produced efficiently and delivered on time. They manage procurement, logistics, and supplier relationships while maintaining compliance with industry standards.

Research and Development teams explore cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, to create smarter, more efficient medical devices. Their work drives innovation, enabling breakthroughs in diagnostics, treatment, and patient monitoring.

Medical Devices Trends

The medical devices industry is evolving rapidly as new technologies and healthcare demands reshape how companies innovate and operate. Understanding key market trends is essential for staying competitive and driving future breakthroughs in this dynamic sector. Here are some key market trends driving change and shaping the future of the sector.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are revolutionising how medical devices diagnose and monitor health conditions. These technologies enable faster, more accurate data analysis, improving early detection, personalised treatment, and patient outcomes.

As consumers seek more personalised healthcare solutions, wearable devices are becoming essential tools for real-time health tracking. Innovations in biosensors, smartwatches, and remote monitoring systems are reshaping how patients manage their health.

Stricter regulations, such as Europe’s MDR and IVDR, are redefining how medical devices are developed, tested, and approved. Companies must adapt by investing in regulatory expertise to ensure compliance and maintain market access in a highly competitive landscape.

Lonza
Our HR initially set up the relationship after we had difficulty filling a Quality Engineer position in my team. The relationship with Panda was excellent from the beginning.What I like most about Panda and their consultants, more than other companies, is that they actually listen to my feedback and improve results upon it.I really notice that other parties keep sending candidates that are available, but not necessarily the ones that are the best match. Again, the consultants at Panda are very good listeners and adjusts their course accordingly, but they are also not afraid to let me know what is realistic or not. I would strongly recommend Panda.

​Within the biopharmaceutical contract industry, you need to act fast. Panda was able to deliver a shortlist of good candidates fast.The interactions with the Panda consultants was very good. We are very pleased with their support and professionality and certainly will consider them for future assignments.
Chief Development Officer
Fonterra
Working with Panda is very positive, they are specialists in their markets and they deliver. They are quick to respond to my queries, knowledgeable about the market and think with us on potential solutions.The profiles that we received were all of a very high standard and included individual rapports on candidate skillset and emotional intelligence. This really helped to make decisions easy on who is the best fit for us, also culturally which is very important to Fonterra. In the end, we’ve made a successful hire through Panda.I highly recommend working with Panda.
HR Manager
ThermoFisher Scientific
Working with Panda is reliable, professional and they are very strong in terms of content. The candidate who Panda quickly sentturned out to be perfect. Panda really excelled in speed.They immediately managed to put the right candidate on the table. What Panda also had on paper in terms of capacities turned out to be possible to determine in practice.That says something about Panda, but it also says something about the quality of the candidates they work with. The candidate has to do it eventually. The flexibility of both candidate and Panda was fantastic.Panda later also helped me with a new project, this time at Bettinehoeve. There I am now working on a very large project such as the Production Manager & Lead Production Excellence.
Operations Manager
Amgen
Randstad Sourceright works at Philips with different levels of suppliers. Panda International has moved up to Gold supplier within 1.5 years, which is one level below the highest level.When I see internally that our Diamond suppliers cannot fill a position, I often see that Panda is the supplier who still knows how to fill in the job, and it is nice to know that we can trust and build on that.The contact with Panda, in general, is very pleasant and they follow up regularly.
Sourcing Expert
Johnson & Johnson
I have been working at Amgen for 3 years now and I did not have any reservations about working with Panda because of its quality of service. The main benefits Amgen has experienced working with Panda are, high quality candidates with the right background for Amgen's positions. The recruitment consultants are also thinking along with us in terms of processes, market insights and what would be best for our long-term goals. We feel like they understand our industry as well as our requirements extremely well. After our ongoing collaboration, I would definitely recommend working with Panda.
Recruitment coordinator
Santen
Santen started working together with Panda International in March 2021 for the recruitment of multiple positions in Regulatory Affairs and others in Global Safety Vigilance, Clinical Data, Analytical Support EMEA & Logistics EMEA position based in the Netherlands. The recruiter at Panda was a great partner throughout the hiring process due to the following: they were quick in proposing candidates, efficient, available for alignment calls on the roles, worked closely with Santen and knew how to adapt the recruitment process to their needs. We had an excellent experience and are glad to have worked with Panda International. We will recommend them internally in the future if necessary.”
HR Manager
Sonion
Since November 2020 I re-joined Sonion as an Interim HR Business Partner as a maternity cover starting with the major recruitment project for the R&D expansion. Later, in March 2021, I stepped up to take on the Interim HR Manager role. My focus from the start has been on working together to get the right staff members on board. Working with Ivor has been a great pleasure. He filled the gap between Sonion and finding the right candidates. From the start, it has been a mutual goal and intense and honest collaboration. It saves Sonion a lot of time. Ivor knows what he is talking about and fully understands the recruitment business. Ivor knew what Sonion required, understood our business, thinks along with us and always had (positive) critical questions. Ivor keeps his word and follows up on his actions openly and transparently. Panda International is not an ordinary recruitment agency shifting resumes. Ivor is eager to finish what he starts and stays committed to. Communication has been very open and honest which supported the speed in the procedures."
