Colleague stories
There is a lot to tell about Hero — and we’re more than happy to share it with enthusiasm and pride. Be prepared: when you come to visit us, our enthusiasm tends to run away with us ;). Below is a brief summary of our story. We present to you: Hero in #s.
#Vakmanship
At Hero, we work with true professionals. We practise our craft with passion and dedication, always striving for the perfect match between candidate and client. We know our clients (and their environments) well, have a strong network of professionals, and offer a high level of quality, service and speed.
#Growth
We’ve been growing rapidly since our founding in 2007 — between 45% and 65% per year. We break record after record, and we celebrate every one of them! We have a growth-driven culture with plenty of opportunities to advance. In short: growth is our goal.
#PersonalDevelopment
Growth at Hero is important — but your personal growth is just as important to us. To support and encourage that, we offer countless coaching, training and development opportunities — individually and as a team.
#HeroFacts
Hero works for 100+ clients, with 80+ colleagues on the team. Through us, 1,200+ interim professionals are currently working on assignments. All of this (and more!) contributes to our annual growth of roughly 45% to 65%. And counting…
#HeroAcademy
Through our Hero Academy, we safeguard the quality of our services and the development of our people. Top internal and external specialists share their knowledge and expertise, and with our LMS (Learning Management System) we provide a digital, modern learning environment for all employees.
#C division
Craftsmanship — and the quality, service and speed that come with it — is extremely important to us. That’s why, as we grow, we make full use of the power of staying small. Whenever one of our offices (our “cells”) becomes too large, we split it. This helps us preserve the strength and agility of a small team. We call this Cell division.
#Culture
We have a unique culture — and we devote a great deal of attention to it. We’d love to tell you much more, but in short it comes down to this: we are open, honest, supportive and we have a lot of fun together. At Hero, making mistakes is allowed — it’s part of learning and entrepreneurship.
#Vakmanship
Hero employs professionals. We practise our profession with love and passion and always strive for the perfect match between candidate and client. We know our clients well, have a strong network of professionals and all teams offer the typical Hero quality, service and speed.
#Growth
Hero has been growing fast since its inception in 2007, 45% to 65% per year. We are breaking record after record and we are celebrating! Growth is our goal and that makes us have a typical growth culture and many opportunities for advancement.

We have a unique, strong culture. We spend a lot of time and attention on that. With love we will tell you much more about it but in a nutshell it comes down to this: we are open, honest, collegial and have fun. At Hero, mistakes are allowed, to learn, to do business.
#C division
Craftsmanship and the associated quality, service and speed are hugely important to us. In our growth, we therefore exploit the power of small. That is why, as soon as our offices (cells) become too big, we split up. This is how we preserve the power of small. We call this cell division.
