About Ficklin HR Consulting
Meet Madeline Ficklin
Madeline founded Ficklin HR Consulting to give small and growing businesses access to the kind of experienced, practical HR support that's usually reserved for companies with a full HR department.
With 15+ years of hands-on human resources experience across healthcare, manufacturing, education, and small business, Madeline has seen firsthand how the right HR foundation—handbooks, policies, documentation, and responsive guidance—protects both a business and its people. That real-world, cross-industry experience is what shapes the way Ficklin HR Consulting works with every client: practical solutions built for how your business actually operates, not generic policy templates.
