See who already has authority to approve HR structure
The intake captures current HR staffing — from no HR function to a small existing team — employee headcount, and which areas the business wants covered, from hiring and onboarding to compliance, plus any existing HR documents to review.
The exact intake your hr department setup leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for HR Department Setup — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified hr department setup lead should tell you
Standing up a new HR function from the ground up or formalizing an ad hoc one — covering structure, policies, compliance basics, and staffing processes for a growing organization.
- Company Have Any Dedicated
- Many Employees Organization Have
- Areas Want New Hr
- Have Authority Approve Hr
- Would Like Begin Setting
- Have Existing Hr Documents
- Driving Set Up Hr
The questions your team needs answered
Every hr department setup intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Does your company currently have any dedicated HR staff or function? | A company with no HR function at all represents a full build-out engagement, while one with a small HR team already may only need targeted support. |
| How many employees does your organization currently have? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Which areas do you want the new HR department to cover? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Do you have the authority to approve HR structure and policy decisions? | Whoever fills out the intake needs sign-off authority for structure and policy decisions or the discovery call risks stalling on approvals later. |
| When would you like to begin setting up the HR department? | Only an immediate start date signals real urgency; longer or unset timelines still qualify but shouldn't jump the queue. |
| Do you have existing HR documents or policies to review, or will this start from scratch? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| What is driving your need to set up an HR department now? | Knowing whether growth, compliance, or an investor requirement is driving the request helps frame the scope before the first call. |

Built for hr department setup workflows
| Cliont capability | HR Department Setup application |
|---|---|
| Weighted answer scoring | Leads with no HR function at all or HR handled informally by an owner score higher than those with a small HR team already in place. |
| Multi-select tagging | The coverage-areas question (hiring, policies, payroll, performance, compliance) tags each lead so you can route it to the consultant who handles that focus. |
| Authority-based deprioritization | A 'no' answer on approval authority pulls the score down, surfacing leads where you'd be pitching someone who can't sign off. |
| Timeline capture | The start-date question separates 'immediately' leads from 'just exploring' ones so your discovery calls go to the ones ready to move. |
| Document-readiness field | Knowing whether a company is starting from scratch or has comprehensive existing materials lets you scope the discovery call before it happens. |
Common hr department setup lead scenarios
No HR function, hiring fast
The business has no HR staff at all, wants to start immediately, and cites rapid hiring or growth as the driver — the highest-value combination the intake can flag.
Owner still handling HR alone
One person or the owner is handling HR tasks informally but the timeline answer is 'just exploring options' — still a real fit, just not urgent, so it can be routed for a slower follow-up.
Compliance-driven overhaul
A small HR team already exists but a compliance or legal requirement is pushing a restructure, and the business has comprehensive existing materials to review rather than starting from scratch.
Filled out by someone without sign-off
The person completing the intake does not have authority to approve HR structure or policy decisions, which lowers the weighted score even if the other answers look strong.
New location, larger headcount
A 51-200 employee company expanding to a new location selects payroll and benefits coordination plus labor law compliance as focus areas, distinguishing it from a small-team setup request.

HR Department Setup lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell a serious HR setup lead from someone just researching?
It combines the current HR staffing answer with the requested start date — a company with no HR function at all that wants to begin immediately scores higher than one that selects 'just exploring options.'
What if the person filling out the form can't approve HR decisions?
The authority question is weighted directly into the score, so a lead where the respondent lacks sign-off authority is flagged lower even if the rest of the intake looks like a strong fit.
Does the intake account for company size?
Yes — the employee count question (1-10 through 201+) is captured on every submission so you can see whether a lead fits a small-business setup or a larger, multi-department build.
Can the intake tell me whether the business is starting from scratch or has existing HR materials?
Yes, it asks directly whether they're starting from scratch, have some documents, or have comprehensive existing materials, which affects scope before you ever get on a discovery call.
How is this different from the HR Compliance Review or Employee Handbook Development intakes?
This intake is built around building the whole function — staffing status, coverage areas, and setup timeline — rather than reviewing an existing policy set or handbook, which are handled by the sibling subservices in the same library.
What drives the urgency signal on this subservice?
Only a start date of 'Immediately' is treated as urgent in the scoring; 'within a month' or later timelines are captured but don't trigger the same priority flag.
