The Swedish company has transformed how people buy awnings: 100% online, faster, and at a fraction of the traditional cost. In just months since launch, more than 1,000 Billy awnings now hang on homes across Sweden. Their secret? Smart tech over heavy operations. With five times fewer employees than competitors, they’re on track for 40M SEK in revenue next year.
But when every hire counts, the question becomes: how do you hire as intelligently as you sell?
“We’re experts in sunshades, not recruiting. But with Vouch, we didn’t need to be. The assistant guided us from start to finish — from scoping the role to writing a job ad that felt on-brand in under an hour. It gave us the confidence and structure we lacked, and honestly, the result exceeded expectations.”
— Mikkel, CEO and co-founder, Billy Markiser
Vouch helped Billy do what they do best: stay lean while raising quality. Their first job post came together in under an hour. The assistant scoped the role, drafted the copy, and structured the ad in Billy’s tone. The end result? A sharper employer brand, clearer hiring flow, and a team ready to scale.
The parallel between Billy and Vouch isn’t lost on anyone. As Billy replaces door-to-door sellers with AI-powered workflows, Vouch replaces slow, manual hiring systems with an assistant that remembers, guides, and compounds with use.
Or as Billy put it: “Buying awnings from a traditional dealer today is like riding a horse and cart when there’s already a Tesla. The same goes for hiring without Vouch.”
Both companies are proving that speed and clarity win. And for Billy, Vouch has become more than a tool — it’s a hiring partner for the next stage of Nordic expansion.
