Overview

Tailored Consulting, founded and led by Micah Lorenc, specializes in executive coaching, culture consulting, and leadership development. In his work with leadership teams, Micah noticed a recurring challenge that often led to turnover and frustration: cultural fit.

Even when a candidate looks great on paper, misalignment with company culture can be hard to spot until after they’re hired. This disconnect can lead to early departures, costly replacements, or lingering tension that affects entire teams.

Micah hired HQ to build CultureLab, a tool that helps employers and candidates assess cultural alignment during the hiring process.

Automating the workflow

Prior to working with HQ, Micah had manually built early prototypes of CultureLab using tools like Google Sheets, but in order to be more productive in his own work and improve the user experience for everyone involved, he wanted to automate the process.

HQ built a proof of concept that would allow users to conduct culture assessments and generate hiring reports without requiring much effort on their part.

I needed an interface that would allow them to enter very little information to kick off the process, and I needed help designing what the actual report would look like. There was a lot of UI development just creating the look and feel of what the user experience would look like.

The Results

Successful MVP launch: The CultureLab platform was completed within budget and on time, allowing Micah to test it with real customers.
Positive user feedback: Early adopters appreciated the simplicity and effectiveness of the assessments.
Seamless transition to internal development: When Micah brought on a CTO, they were impressed with the quality of HQ’s code, which made further development smooth.

This says a lot about your quality: I brought on a partner, and he started digging into your code. I heard multiple times from my CTO: ‘They created some clean code; this tech deck is clean — I know how to take everything that they did from here.’

Finding the Right Team

Finding the right development partner can mean the difference between an idea that fizzles out and a product that thrives.

If I didn't have a resource to build out that prototype for me at the beginning, I'm not sure it would be where it is today. Otherwise, it would have fizzled and my homemade prototypes just would never have gotten anywhere on their own.

If you’re an employer looking to hire, check out CultureLab to ensure you’re hiring not only the right skillsets, but the right people.

If you’re an entrepreneur looking for a trusted partner to bring your product to life, HQ is here to help.

If you have a big idea but lack the technical knowledge or team to bring it to life, HQ specializes in building scalable, user-friendly platforms — just like we had the opportunity to do with CultureLab.
