Hero Foundation is a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission.
Your next great hire is already in our network
The Hero Foundation connects employers with motivated, work-ready candidates who might otherwise be missed by traditional hiring processes.
Hiring well is harder than it should be.
Job ads cost money. Sifting through irrelevant applications costs time. And the wrong hire costs both. For small and medium businesses, every hire matters and the process of finding the right person can be exhausting.
The Hero Foundation gives you a different option. Our candidates have completed structured training programmes run by trusted local organisations. They arrive pre-vetted, briefed on your business, and genuinely committed to building a career.
Work-ready from day one
Our candidates complete structured pre-employment programmes before they ever apply. They come prepared, briefed, and motivated to make the most of the opportunity.
Build a more diverse team
Hero Foundation candidates come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Hiring through us is one of the simplest ways to build a more diverse, high-performing team.
Real, demonstrable impact
A Hero Foundation hire is something you can point to: a real person from your community in a real role.
Support and a £2,500 platform discount
Our team supports you from first introduction through to hire and beyond. Employment Hero customers who make a confirmed Hero Foundation hire receive a £2,500 in-platform discount. Access to Foundation candidates is always free.
