Connect your participants with Employment Hero’s growing UK employer network
The Hero Foundation connects your participants to Employment Hero’s growing network of UK businesses, at no cost to your organisation. You do the preparation work. We open the right doors.
Your candidates are ready. Let’s show them off.
You do the hard work: building confidence, developing skills, and getting people workforce-ready. We handle what comes next: connecting your participants to Employment Hero’s employer network, at no cost to you or them.
Sign-up session
Participants complete a short eligibility form, upload a CV, and are live on the platform in minutes. No admin burden on your team.
We spotlight every application
When a participant applies for a role, our team contacts the employer directly — telling them who this person is, where they’ve come from, and why they’re worth a look.
We make direct introductions
For highly motivated, well-prepared candidates, we proactively introduce them to employers who are hiring — no application needed, and significantly higher placement rates.
AI matches in the background
Our matching technology works 24/7 — surfacing relevant roles and putting each participant’s profile in front of the right employers, automatically.

Why organisations partner with us
One partnership gives your participants access to Employment Hero’s growing UK employer network, and our team does the hard work of making introductions, tracking outcomes, and reporting results back to you.
Plug in to thousands of employers
The moment your participants join the platform, they’re visible to Employment Hero’s entire global network. No cold calls or relationship-building required from your team.
Clear, ready-to-use reporting
Every placement is tracked: the role, employer, sector, and start date. We share results in a format you can drop straight into funding applications and impact reports.
Low effort, high impact
We design our process around your constraints. Onboarding is simple, and we work around your schedule — you don’t need to change how you operate to see results for your participants.
