Get to know us

HR Specialty Solutions provides an innovative HR services model, making compensation and HRIS expertise accessible for growing small and mid-sized businesses (SMB). As the first of its kind, we exclusively offer on-demand, customized HR specialty capabilities on an affordable, scalable basis. This enables strategic talent and workforce management previously only available to large enterprises.

This idea was founded by James Shelby and Kyle Kuvin based on their experience working with businesses that were outgrowing the SMB category. These leaders struggled to find an affordable solution that could help them compete with larger competitors for talent, data, and systems due to cost. After tirelessly developing full compensation and HRIS programs over the years to assist these leaders, Shelby and Kuvin recognized a need to aid SMBs. Thus, HR Specialty Solutions was created to provide strategic HR capabilities to this underserved and often overlooked market.
