Meet the Hero Academy

Meet the Hero Academy

The Perfect Match is our craft – it’s what drives us and defines who we are. At the Hero Academy, we continuously train our colleagues to become the best version of themselves. We combine personal attention, professionalism and craftsmanship to help new colleagues grow into Hero Recruiters.

Every day, our colleagues are committed to bringing candidates and clients together – with personal attention, professionalism and the ambition to always make a difference.

Read all about our traineeship below and discover how you can progress to become a Hero Recruiter.

#HeroTheMovie

#HeroTheMovie

From day one, we take new colleagues along on the fantastic journey we all share at Hero – our #OnsVerhaal. We do this in our own unique way, just like so many things here, including with Hero The Movie! 🍿

Why a film? Well, because we enjoy it – but mainly because it allows us to convey so much about Hero: our ambition, culture, craftsmanship, humour, services, teams and much more.

Programme of our Traineeship

Module 1

A Flying Start
 
Starting at Hero is all about you. Who are you, what are your strengths, and where do your development opportunities lie? This first module gives you the space and guidance to discover your role within Hero and to grow into your future profession, the Hero way of working.
 
We take you through the recruitment process step by step: from the very first contact to finding the right candidate. You will practice the basics of our systems and apply them to real-life situations right from day one. After this module, you will feel confident enough to host conversations with both candidates and clients, always with our craftsmanship and Hero energy at the core.

Module 2

‘Finding ’The Perfect Match'
 

Recruitment is all about making the right connection – in people, in skills and in the world of commercial work. In this module, we dive deeper into what it means to find truly great matches. You will learn how to lead the right conversations, ask the right questions and offer the clarity candidates and clients need.

With clever search techniques, modern tools and practical tips, you will learn to spot the right people faster and better. You will discover how not only to find someone, but also to enthuse them for an assignment. Your first successful experiences of ‘hunting’ will give you energy and confidence. So you develop the skills that will help you make real matches, not just a click, but a lasting collaboration that benefits everyone.

Module 3

Building relationships
 

At Hero, building relationships goes beyond recruitment. It’s about connection, motivation, trust and collaboration. In this module, you’ll learn how to actively create and maintain strong client and candidate relationships.

You practice making phone calls, learn to ask the right questions and work on techniques to keep your conversations natural and effective. This is where your confidence grows, as well as your commercial skills. You’ll learn how to communicate with impact – skills that will support you throughout your career.

Module 4

Everything Comes Together
 
Now it’s time to put everything you’ve learned into practice. In this module, your talent, ambition and personal development path come together. From A to Z, you finish the programme with the right mindset to approach the recruitment craft with confidence.

Your last module revolves around real-life assignments and situations. You’ll join your team more actively, take ownership, and sharpen your commercial and communication skills. At this point, you are ready to spread your wings within the Hero family and really start growing your career.

And after that...

Celebrating plenty of successes!
 
The traineeship at the Hero Academy is just the beginning. After completing the programme, you’ll start working at one of our branches, where experienced colleagues are ready to help you grow even further.
 
You will continue developing through training sessions, coaching and new modules — because at Hero, we believe in growth and ambition. The next steps in your career follow naturally: you’ll keep learning, keep improving and keep moving forward. This is how you not only achieve your own success, but also that of the people and organisations you work with. Growing together, that's The Hero Way.

Why develop? Why Hero?

From trainee to cell director

The Hero Recruitment Traineeship is the starting point for a successful career in recruitment. With the perfect mix of craftsmanship, commercial skills and personal growth, our programme prepares you to become a strong recruitment professional. And the growth doesn’t stop there.

Many Heroes have already followed this path – from trainee to Recruitment Consultant, from Consultant to Accountmanager, and even to Cell Director. 😉

Personal development and coaching

Hero is a growth company – you feel that from the moment you walk in. We continuously invest in the development of our colleagues, offering training programmes, (external) coaching and practical workshops tailored to your needs.

This also includes guidance from experienced Heroes who have mastered the craft. In short: we do everything we can to help you move forward, stay ahead and keep learning every day.

Exercise, relaxation and team building

We encourage movement – and this time we mean it quite literally: sports! Think padel, tennis, running, football… we do it all. And always in a fully equipped Hero sports outfit.

And besides sports, we value relaxation and fun. Throughout the year, you’ll enjoy team outings, game nights, drinks and other team-building activities. Because at Hero, we believe that working hard and enjoying the journey go hand in hand.

Do you have commercial talent? This is your chance to grow!

Are you currently working within hospitality, hotel, retail or a totally different sector and considering a career within recruitment? This is your chance to become a Recruitment Trainee at Hero. You will start in the Hero Academy, where you will lay the foundations, and then continue in a programme that combines working and learning. This is how you grow step by step to become a Hero Recruiter.
