Plenty of good opportunities. Too few connections.
A workplace, a club, an educational programme, a local network: value also comes from how easily people can connect with one another.
RegioHero is intended to complement and connect existing local portals, networks and initiatives. SEARCH4 contributes recruitment and HR expertise. Together with regional partners, we are developing ways to strengthen belonging and collaboration.

AI-generated illustration of a possible PLAY4MATCH format.
Digitally pre-qualified through our self-matching app. A deeper connection at the event.
PLAY4MATCH brings talent and employers into conversation through sport and playful activities. Working together, experiencing collaboration and sharing expectations add a personal dimension to digital pre-selection – at an in-house event at your company or one of our regional arena events.
The focus is on mutual fit: what can and does a person want to contribute? What responsibilities, culture and conditions does the business offer?
Compare interests, skills and expectations digitally before the event. App use is agreed for each format.
Get to know each other.
Experience collaboration through sport and playful tasks – at your company or a regional arena event.
Explore the fit in conversation.
Reflect on the experience, compare roles and expectations, and agree a suitable next step.
Illustrative process. Content, participation and delivery are agreed for each project.
The combined experience described here is our vision. Use of the self-matching app is agreed for each format; the digital connection to RegioHero 360° is under development.

04 / THE REGION AS A PLACE TO LIVE
More reasons to stay.
Work is a starting point. Belonging also grows through everyday life — through education, activity, culture and people who make you feel welcome.

Work & Training
Career opportunities, guidance and encounters with employers.
02
Settling in & Participation
Access to knowledge, local contacts and community opportunities.

Clubs, cultural initiatives and health services as part of regional belonging.
04
Town & Region
Connect businesses, municipal services and local initiatives.
ME-HR Connect: connection starts locally.
Our district-wide initiative connects business, education, sport, culture, social organisations and health. The Mettmann district is our regional starting point; the RegioHero concept is designed with other regions in mind too.
The digital RegioHero platform, the connection between matching and events, and further regional functions and integrations. Pilot scope and availability are clarified individually.
07 / GOOD TO KNOW
Your key questions.
Is RegioHero 360° already a finished platform?
The digital platform is being developed. The interfaces shown here are concept views. In a pilot discussion, we clarify which services and technical components can be used at the agreed time.
How do SEARCH4, RegioHero and PLAY4MATCH fit together?
SEARCH4 / S4G Talent Solutions GmbH is the organisation behind the ecosystem. RegioHero 360° connects the digital platform with local life. PLAY4MATCH is the independent, integrable recruitainment brand: talent and employers get to know each other through sport, games and dialogue. Its digital connection to matching is under development.
Does RegioHero replace existing local opportunities?
The concept focuses on complementing and connecting. Existing networks, local portals and initiatives should be able to contribute their strengths.
Who can initiate a pilot?
Businesses, municipalities, economic development agencies, education and health partners, clubs and other regional initiatives. What matters is a specific need and a scope that works for everyone involved.
