About

Sandro specialises in placing skilled contractors within the Dutch biopharma sector, focusing on QA/QC professionals in the life sciences sector, supporting them in finding opportunities where they can truly excel. Sandro takes the time to understand not just technical expertise, but also the person behind the CV - ensuring each match feels right on both a professional and personal level. For him, the most rewarding part of recruitment is building genuine connections and seeing the real-world impact when someone steps into a role that’s the perfect fit.

Known for his direct, no-nonsense communication, Sandro gives honest answers and keeps things moving quickly. That approach paid off early - within his first eight weeks at Panda, he made two successful placements, setting a strong foundation for his career here.

Outside of work, he brings the same determination to personal challenges - like the time he ran a half-marathon without any training. He finished, but he’ll be the first to admit it’s not a strategy he recommends!
