We build from experience
We develop products around questions and difficulties we encounter at businesses.
About · How we work
Software and collaboration at HGN
We develop our own software products and work on software for other businesses, together with an international network of professionals.
Our story
From connecting people to shipping products
HGN began by connecting businesses with skilled people, often across borders. Along the way we kept seeing the same problems show up in the businesses we worked with, and we started building tools to solve them. Those tools became products. Today, building and shipping our own software is what drives us, with OrFlo and SoniVera leading the way.
How we work
Three things we hold to
We review the work together
We review what we build, with attention to the people who will use it.

The people behind the work
Skilled professionals, coordinated locally
The team that builds for our clients, in their own words.
Sophiya
Graphic designer · Remote professional
The Human Growth Network is the best company I have ever worked for. The culture is respectful, supportive, and built on trust.
Sophiya designed our full brand identity, including our logo, and delivers print, websites, and branding for clients. Her range, from WordPress development to full brand work, is the kind of versatility our clients rely on.
Rico
Business development & IT · Remote professional
I see my role as opening doors, for new clients and for our professionals alike. The balance between freedom and clear expectations works perfectly for me.
Rico pairs IT expertise with business development, building bridges between technology and commercial opportunities. He points to our hybrid way of working as the reason it holds together: remote talent paired with someone local who understands the context, so clients feel at ease and the team feels supported.
Kamille
Assistant bookkeeper · Remote professional
Working remotely gives me both flexibility and security, and I know I can always turn to HGN whenever I need something. The trust and the direct contact with clients make the work all the more rewarding.
Kamille joined as an assistant bookkeeper and now serves two accountancy firms, in Zwijndrecht and Capelle aan den IJssel. What started as an entry-level role quickly grew into one where she handles client contact on her own and takes on tasks with real confidence, proof that remote work reaches well beyond IT.
George
Full stack developer · Remote professional
Working as a developer in the Philippines, I work with a Dutch team every day. What makes the difference is the local coordinator who keeps our communication clear.
George has been a steady presence since the start, building software for client projects as a full stack developer. The Human Growth Network always puts a local coordinator in place, which smooths over cultural differences and keeps the collaboration professional. The freedom and trust he is given, he says, give him the room to do his best work.
