Grayscale
Grayscale is an AI-powered texting and automation platform that enhances high-volume hiring, onboarding, and candidate engagement. The company aims to make the hiring process more human for both candidates and recruiters, particularly focusing on underserved recruiters in high-volume and hourly hiring sectors. Founded by Ty Abernethy and Hubert, Grayscale has been operational for over four years and was acquired by Paylocity in April 2026 to expand its AI-driven recruiting capabilities. The platform features an SMS-first hiring system that automates various tasks, including screening, interview scheduling, and onboarding workflows. Key functionalities include 1:1 and bulk texting, automated follow-ups to reduce candidate ghosting, and seamless integration with major applicant tracking and human capital management systems. Grayscale serves nearly 400 brands, including notable clients like Hershey’s, Amazon, and DICK’S Sporting Goods, and is recognized as a leader in candidate relationship management.
