The Story Behind the Match

The Right People in the Right Place
Where Culture Becomes Measurable

CultureMatch started with a frustration: companies hire for skills but lose people over culture. We set out to make culture fit measurable — the invisible threads that make a team click — so the right people end up in the right place.

Where It Began

A Shared Frustration

Our founders spent years in HR — but also as hiring managers. They watched the struggle of getting the right people in the right places firsthand. Talent management is always a topic for management teams, board directors, and on every yearly HR plan. And yet, the same problem keeps coming back: great hires on paper that don't work out in practice.

They saw companies hire for skills and fire for culture — over and over. Not because anyone did something wrong, but because hard skills are easy to verify while culture fit remained invisible. Does a candidate's management style fit your organization? Do their values and norms align? Most companies were answering these questions on gut feeling alone.

So they built CultureMatch: a platform that makes culture fit measurable — from job posting to final hire. Define your culture, generate smarter job posts, scan CVs, and send culture questionnaires. No guesswork, just data.

Our Journey

Building Bridges, Step by Step

2020

Where It Started

Lisa and Aylin started working together at a startup. They immediately saw the same pattern: talented people hired on paper who turned out to be a poor culture fit. The conversations about a better way to hire began.

2022

The Idea Takes Shape

After Aylin left the company, they stayed in touch. Different companies, the same struggle: good hires based on paper, but within a year no match on company culture, fit, and team dynamics — even with HR involved in every hire. They agreed: this needs to become more scientific and measurable.

2025

From Idea to Pilot

CultureMatch goes from concept to working product. The first pilot begins — testing the platform with real companies, real candidates, and real culture data. The results confirm what they always believed: culture fit can be measured.

2026

Test Customers and Live

CultureMatch launches with its first test customers. Real teams using the platform to hire smarter, reduce turnover, and build cultures that last. The bridge is open.
