Advancing HR through Technology.
That’s the MillsonJames mission. It’s also our passion.
History
Most successful businesses are founded on addressing a single marketplace problem or need. MillsonJames worked to address two:
• A confusing marketplace. Employers were basing HR Technology decisions on marketplace hyperbole and inaccurate information. They often felt overwhelmed by the process of selecting an HR technical solution and would fall victim to analysis paralysis.
• A lack of HR technology expertise. Employee Benefit Agencies/Brokers were being looked upon to deliver expert advice to their clients as it related to HR Technology, but felt ill-equipped to sort the wheat from the chaff. There were simply too many options available in the market and it was not a core competency of the agency.
MillsonJames was founded in 2010 by Scott Millson to address both of these challenges and bring an objective voice to the market. We share our knowledge, experience, and unwavering objectivity with employee benefit agencies, employers, and service providers throughout the United States.
Our core belief: Our clients’ success is our success.
WHO WE ARE

While at Hewitt Associates (now Alight), she held the position of Health & Welfare Benefits Operations Manager, supporting clients ranging in size from 1,000 to over 100,000.
