"Streamlined Candidate Engagement with Key Improvements Needed"
What do you like best about Grayscale?

I really like the real-time communication with candidates via direct text messaging on Grayscale as it's very efficient and improves engagement. Its easy-to-use interface is a plus for me. The mobile texting feature is a game changer for recruiters on the go, and the Chrome extension integration with Greenhouse simplifies workflows. I appreciate how automation and shared visibility in Grayscale enhance teamwork and consistency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grayscale?

Basically, the message character limit feels restrictive for detailed communication. No keyboard shortcut to send messages makes texting a bit slower, I would say. Importing candidate list is time-consuming. Lack of group chat or bulk message features. Lack of ability to receive media, for example, photos and messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Grayscale is HUGE in getting better response times from candidates!"
What do you like best about Grayscale?

We have been using Grayscale for over and year now - we have a much better response time when texting candidates then we were when we were emailing them. People have their phones in their hands all the time - they will look at a text when it comes in and may not look at an email until later in the day or even the following day. Texting works! I love that you can create templates to use!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grayscale?

Nothing really - it works very well in regards to getting in touch with candidate quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Recruitment with Instant Notifications"
What do you like best about Grayscale?

I like Grayscale because it enables ease of communication by sending messages directly to the candidate's mobile. I appreciate the response time since it notifies me when a candidate has responded, allowing me to reply instantly. This saves me valuable time and benefits the candidate by keeping them updated on their application progress. I also love that I can view all prior conversations, ensuring we don't waste time asking for the same documentation. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grayscale?

One minor issue can be the delay sometimes when using with SuccessFactors. I understand this to be an interface issue with our system not necessarily a Grayscale issue. There was one issue where the templates functionality changed where I was unable to edit. But this was soon rectified, and I am now able to edit and apply using a burger menu.

"Game-Changer for Candidate Communication"
What do you like best about Grayscale?

I appreciate how Grayscale enables real-time communication with candidates throughout the interview process, which enhances the overall candidate experience. The ease of use is a standout feature for me, as it allows me to navigate the platform efficiently. I particularly love the mobile feature as it is a game-changer; it significantly speeds up communication with candidates and ensures I can stay connected even when I'm away from my laptop. This mobility offers a substantial time-saving benefit and seamlessly keeps candidates updated. Overall, the platform effectively supports my role as a recruiter by facilitating quick information exchange and enhancing candidate interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grayscale?

I find the character limit for typing messages in Grayscale to be restrictive. The app maxes out at 480 characters, which means that for longer messages, I often have to send multiple parts. This can be a minor inconvenience when trying to communicate more detailed information in a single message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Neetika Khanna of Grayscale

Thanks for the wonderful feedback. We’re thrilled that real-time communication and the mobile experience are making your workflow faster and your candidate interactions smoother. We appreciate the note on message length as we work on ways to make longer outreach feel more seamless.

"Effortless Candidate Outreach with Grayscale"
What do you like best about Grayscale?

I really appreciate the Google extension of Grayscale which makes it extremely easy to use, whether I am using Greenhouse or on a different page entirely. This feature makes the tool very accessible compared to alternatives like Google Voice, as it simplifies the process of reaching out. The ability to immediately follow up an email sent from Greenhouse with a text message using Grayscale allows me to engage with candidates from multiple angles, which has significantly improved my communication efficiency. I also found the setup process for Grayscale to be straightforward and quick, allowing me and my team to get started without any delays and easily integrate it into our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grayscale?

I'm accustomed to hitting 'enter' to send messages or 'shift + enter' to start a new line. In Grayscale, there's no way to send a message without physically clicking the send button with the mouse. I'd prefer having a shortcut to streamline this process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Neetika Khanna of Grayscale

Hi Shawn, Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback. We are glad the Chrome extension and Greenhouse workflow are boosting your outreach, and we’ll keep pushing improvements like message-send shortcuts to make things even smoother.

"Institutional-Grade Security and Seamless Portfolio Integration"
What do you like best about Grayscale?

Grayscale's integration into traditional investment portfolios is greatly appreciated. It is crucial that they provide investors with operational security, as Bitcoin exposure is managed using institutional-grade custody supported by highly secure partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grayscale?

What I dislike are the high management fees, which are considerably above the market average. This ultimately reduces long-term profitability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Neetika Khanna of Grayscale

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Glad the security and institutional-grade custody give you confidence, and we appreciate your note on fees as we continue looking for ways to deliver even more value over the long term.

"Enhances Teamwork and Automation, But Candidate List Import Needs Improvement"
What do you like best about Grayscale?

I appreciate how it lets you set up automations, which really takes the guesswork out of following up with candidates. Another feature I value is that my colleagues can see my conversations and step in to contribute when necessary. Grayscale has consistently helped enhance teamwork, especially when it comes to communicating with candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grayscale?

I would appreciate a simpler method for adding candidate lists. Currently, we have to prepare the list separately in Excel, and it needs to be formatted very precisely. This process can become quite time-consuming, especially when dealing with more than 100 candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Neetika Khanna of Grayscale

Thanks for the great review. Awesome to hear how automations and shared visibility are supporting your team, and we appreciate the note on easier list imports as we continue refining the workflow.

This app has completely streamlined our communication process with candidates. The ability to text in real time makes interactions feel more personal and immediate, which has significantly improved our response rates. The auto-scheduling feature for text reminders is a huge time-saver and ensures no follow-up falls through the cracks. The interface is intuitive, and everything works seamlessly. Highly recommend for any team looking to enhance their candidate outreach and stay organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, looking forward to more enhancements and upgrades that have been discussed with our teams specific needs and are set to take effect in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
