At VG Lab, hiring happens alongside product work. They don't hire often, but when they do, the roles are specialist and the process needs to work — without too much process overhead or dedicated recruiting support.
Their setup was able to track candidates. What it didn't do was help with the work in between.
Sourcing, screening, shortlisting, and keeping communication moving — that was the work no tool was supporting.
What they tried
VG Lab used Vouch alongside their existing system. What stood out was how much clearer the process became.
Candidates could be sourced directly from LinkedIn, resurfaced from existing talent pools, or handled from inbound applications — then reviewed through sharp summaries that made screening fast and consistent. Shortlisting was a breeze compared to before. Decisions were made with far less back-and-forth.
Communication stopped being a bottleneck. Follow-ups and rejections were quicker to handle, so momentum wasn't lost in writing and rewriting messages.
The team's take
"The workflows are smooth and well thought through. Job ads look good. The system is simply pleasant to work in. Vouch makes the hiring process easier to manage. Screening takes less effort, communication was easier to keep up with, and we spent less time on small manual tasks. It helped us stay focused and move decisions forward.
"
"Not to forget that it's a breeze working with the Vouch team as well. The responsiveness and support is unheard of — as well as the speed of development.

It's all about bringing recruiter savviness into software.
