Here's how we get started.
No complicated process. Just a conversation to understand what you need and whether I can help.
- 01
Let's talk.
Book a free 15-minute intro call. Tell me about your business and what you need help with. No preparation required.
- 02
See what's possible.
If I can help, we'll discuss possible next steps—whether that's hourly support, a project, or ongoing HR help.
- 03
Decide what works for you.
If you'd like to move forward, we'll agree on the work, timeline, and cost before getting started.

EXPERIENCED. HANDS-ON. HUMAN.
Meet your HR partner.
I’m Madoree, the person behind Practical People Partners.
You don’t need to have every HR answer—or figure it all out alone. I’ve built and run HR inside growing companies, so I understand how much can land on your plate.
Whether you need to organize the basics, help a manager through a difficult situation, or take a project off your team’s list, I’ll work with you on practical next steps.

A few common questions.
Can you help if we don’t have an HR department?
Yes. I can help you get the basics in place, work through employee questions, and build practical processes. You don’t need an internal HR person to get started.
Can you work alongside our existing HR person or team?
Yes. I can take on a defined project, help with day-to-day work, or offer another perspective. We’ll agree on responsibilities so my support fits alongside your team.
Can I hire you for just one project or a few hours?
Yes. Hourly advice is available for focused questions, and fixed-price projects cover an agreed deliverable. You don’t need ongoing support to work with me.
What does fractional HR support actually mean?
It means experienced HR support on a part-time, ongoing basis. I help with agreed priorities as a regular partner. A one-time project or occasional hourly advice may fit better if you only need help with a specific task.
How does pricing work?
Hourly consulting starts at $75/hour. Fixed-price projects and ongoing support are scoped around the work involved. We’ll agree on scope and cost before work begins. Compare services and pricing.
What happens on the introductory call?
We’ll spend 15 minutes talking about your business and what you need help with. If I can help, we’ll discuss possible next steps. The call is free, no preparation is required, and there’s no obligation to move forward. It isn’t a full HR assessment or a detailed advice session.
LET'S TALK
Let's get HR off your plate.
No pitch. No pressure. Just a conversation.
Whether you have one HR question, a project in mind, or aren't sure where to start, tell me what's going on. We'll spend 15 minutes getting to know your needs and seeing if I can help.
