We are Hero.
About Hero
Since 2007, Hero has developed into a unique and driven family business within the recruitment sector, with a strong, distinctive culture. But our ambition goes even further: becoming the biggest, most beautiful and best is our dream. Therefore, growth is not a means, but our goal. We attract the best people, continuously improve our processes and, more importantly, encourage and facilitate the personal development of all our employees.
Hard work is part of who we are, and we genuinely enjoy it. That’s why we offer the best professionals for every assignment and take full responsibility for the contracting process, giving you complete control over decentralised hiring. Delivering top-level service and a personal approach is at the heart of everything we do – always in our own way: The Hero Way. ‘The Hero Way’.

The Hero culture
We place great importance on our strong culture and put a lot of care into maintaining it. Giving feedback is normal at Hero — always constructive and respectful. We talk to each other, not about each other. And importantly: mistakes are allowed. If you make one or see something going wrong, you report it right away – even before trying to fix it yourself – so colleagues can support and help solve it.
This approach helps us avoid unnecessary stress and creates an optimal, collegial working environment. Keeping your promises is a core value at Hero. And we celebrate success together – whether it’s a dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant or an evening out in Antwerp.
At Hero, you truly get to work hard and play hard.
As a growth company, we want to move forward every day and do things better than yesterday. If you work at Hero, it is crucial that you have that same drive-that you want to keep challenging yourself, dare to step outside your comfort zone and continue acquiring new knowledge. We support you in this with professional coaches, training courses, workshops, courses and professional literature. And we also provide all the necessary tools and resources. Everything you need to take daily steps forward, we take care of for you.
Hero is a growth company, and that calls for a certain type of employee: enthusiastic and eager-to-learn professionals who want to improve every day, who do not shy away from challenges and who like to stay up to date with the latest trends and developments. Hero supports its employees in this by facilitating participation in training courses, educational sessions and informative meetings.
We encourage movement. This time not as personal development, but quite literally: as sports! After a hard day’s work, we offer the opportunity to relax and recharge by exercising. We give all our employees this pleasure. Many activities are organised, such as padel and squash evenings, tennis battles, running training sessions and various other sporting challenges. You can also claim your own sports subscription. Naturally, we support this at #teamHero with a fully equipped sports outfit. Because if you want to put something in motion, you first have to take action yourself.
Your career at Hero begins, along with all new employees, with an onboarding programme – a process full of information, relaxation and inspiration. We believe it is hugely important that new employees quickly understand what Hero stands for, our history, how we treat clients and candidates, the culture we have and the challenges we set for ourselves. Onboarding ensures that new Hero employees are quickly up and running and become part of the team.
#TeamHero is not #TeamHero for nothing; we regularly organise outings for different departments or the entire team. We play sports, have lunch, laugh and dine together. Every year we also organise the Hero Day – an inspirational day (including company visits) that is organised differently each year.
‘Work Hard & Play Hard’ is one of our four core values. The ‘Play Hard’ part mainly takes place in the in-house game room. The pool table, table tennis table, dart boards, PlayStations, computer and bar provide relaxation, team building and entertainment – a great place to blow off some steam after hard work.
We see the consultation structure we use as the heartbeat of Hero, and it determines our working rhythm; daily stand-ups, personal and corporate weeklies, monthlies and quarterlies ensure that we are always quickly up to date with everything that is going on.
In addition to our consultation structure, we communicate extensively through our internal platform called HeroToday. On this intranet, a great deal of interesting and useful information can be accessed. News is shared and we inspire each other with various tips and recommendations.
All employees are given the opportunity for continuous development. This can take many forms, including coaching. Hero works with several independent coaches. Employees choose for themselves which coach they will work with and what the focus of the sessions should be.
Every month, the Hero of the month-award ceremony takes place, an honorary title that the person in question receives from his or her colleague, based on a special performance, unwavering dedication or as a form of support. A wonderful token of appreciation from your colleague, in other words!
How about excellent lunches prepared by our own chef, modern workstations with sit/stand desks, and the necessary Apple equipment? We also have our own game room with a bar and, above all, lots of fun and socialising! In short: you will lack nothing to enjoy working hard.
Personal
We are a networking organisation, the connector in the middle. We thrive on goodwill and strong relationships, and we like to maintain these personally. Because while many things can be automated, a truly good match will always remain personal. Mutual trust and a deep understanding of both the client’s and candidate’s needs are only possible when you invest in each other.
Growth company pur sang
