Fatima was looking for something with greater purpose - a role where collaboration and impact went hand in hand. She found exactly that at Panda, where the culture and mission aligned perfectly with her own values.
Fatima's path at Panda began in recruitment, where her focus was the moment of placement: finding the right person for the right role. Moving into Workforce Operations changed how she saw the relationship entirely. She realised that while recruitment creates the opportunity, it's the experience afterwards - the onboarding, the payroll, the day-to-day support - that defines it. Having worked both sides gives her a rare perspective: she understands the expectations set during hiring, and the operational discipline it takes to deliver on them consistently.
Contractors know they can count on her for honesty, transparency, and consistency. For Fatima, trust isn't built through promises but through follow-through - doing what she said she'd do, being available when people need her, and treating every interaction as a chance to strengthen the relationship
Despite being from Peru, Fatima can't handle spicy food, but she makes up for it with her competitive streak. Once told she'd never run again, she's now proving the opposite by training for marathons.
