Heroyam operates as a social employment agency that matches newcomers with job opportunities in the Netherlands, emphasizing a humane and personal approach. The company began in 2022 by guiding Ukrainian refugees into employment and expanded in 2023 to assist all newcomers across the country. Co-founders Hans Drijver and Bart Dikkeschei lead the firm and emphasize that tapping unused talent addresses both social needs and business labour shortages. Heroyam aims to help more newcomers secure sustainable employment and to alleviate workforce shortages in the coming years. Financially, the company recently secured just over €1 million in strategic investments from Shaping Impact and Rabobank to accelerate its growth. The firm positions social impact and economic value as mutually reinforcing in its operational model.
