The Perfect Match.

Working through Hero means the right assignments, fair agreements and personal contact. We work for clients in the public sector, healthcare, finance, IT and engineering. Assignments range from a few months to several years.

How we work together

  1. Introduction. A conversation about your experience, ambitions and what you’re looking for.
  2. Assignments that fit. We only put you forward for assignments that are a genuine match.
  3. Clear agreements. Rate, terms and expectations upfront. Transparent, including our margin.
  4. One point of contact. Throughout your entire assignment. Someone who thinks along with you and steps in when needed.

Meaningful work at organisations where you’re valued

Whether you’re leaving your permanent job behind, have been self-employed for years, or are looking for your next step: at Hero we look at what you can do, what you want, and where you’ll thrive.

You can work as a freelancer, via opting-in or through secondment from your own company. You choose the form. We assess every assignment against the Dutch DBA Act and carry the legal responsibility.

Frequently asked questions from professionals

Have a question about applying, interim assignments or working through Hero? Below you’ll find the answers to the questions we get asked most often.

What contract types can I work under at Hero?

Three options: as a freelancer with a service agreement, through opting-in, or via secondment. Together, we’ll look at which contract type best fits your situation.

How quickly does Hero respond to my application or CV?

You’ll receive a response from Hero within 24 hours on business days. Is there a match? Then we’ll schedule an introduction right away.

In which fields does Hero place professionals?

From IT and finance to engineering, healthcare and government: Hero places professionals in a wide range of assignments at both public and private organisations. Together we’ll look at which challenge best matches your experience and ambitions.

Working through Hero as a freelancer: how does that work?

We assess every assignment against the Dutch DBA Act. Based on that, we advise on the right contract type, so you can get started with peace of mind and everything is properly arranged from a legal perspective.

Can I also have an informal introduction?

Absolutely. A first conversation is always without obligation. We’d love to get to know you, think along about your ambitions and show you which assignments are currently open. Only when there’s a match that truly clicks do we take the next step together.

How is my rate determined?

We’re transparent about the rate and terms from the very first conversation. The rate depends on the assignment, your experience and the chosen contract type. That way, you know exactly where you stand from the start.

What if an assignment doesn’t turn out to be right for me?

Does an assignment not meet your expectations after all? Then we’ll talk it through. Together we’ll look for a solution or an assignment that suits you better. Because to us, a good match matters more than a quick placement.
