Human resources expertise

As a leading HR staffing and consulting partner, we cover the full spectrum of people and HR roles, from early-career specialists to executive leadership. For organisations seeking targeted expertise, we place high-calibre professionals across areas such as talent acquisition, HR operations, reward and benefits, learning and development, employee relations and people analytics. Each brings strong functional knowledge, sector insight and a practical approach to supporting effective people management and organisational performance.

We also work closely with senior HR leaders, specialising in the placement of CHROs, HR Directors, Heads of People and board-level people experts. These leaders play a critical role in shaping culture, strengthening governance, driving transformation and aligning people strategy with wider business objectives.

Whatever your HR staffing or consulting needs, at any level, we are confident we can connect you with the right expertise to support sustainable growth and long-term success.

At Interval, we take a tailored, insight-driven approach to assessing HR and people professionals. Our consultants combine deep functional knowledge with hands-on experience to evaluate each candidate’s capability beyond their CV. We conduct structured interviews that explore real-world people challenges, stakeholder management, decision-making and impact delivered. Where relevant, we also review case examples, programme outcomes or transformation experience to validate expertise.

The goal is simple: to ensure every professional we recommend has the skills, judgement and experience to add value from day one.

At Interval, we stay ahead of change in the people and HR landscape by combining continuous learning with real-world insight from our global network. Our consultants specialise in specific HR domains, allowing them to develop deep expertise and stay close to evolving employment practices, regulatory requirements and people strategies. We actively engage with senior HR leaders, monitor market trends and analyse workforce data to anticipate shifts in demand.

This ensures we understand not just where HR is today but where it is heading, so our clients gain access to people expertise that is ready for the future.

At Interval, we understand that some HR and people requirements cannot wait. Our teams are experienced in rapid response recruitment and maintain a network of pre-vetted HR professionals who are ready to start at short notice. Whether you need interim support for an immediate challenge or a permanent hire on a tight timeline, our streamlined processes and HR domain expertise enable us to deliver high-quality candidates quickly without compromising on fit or capability.

On average, we provide qualified HR candidates within 24 to 48 hours and reduce time to hire by 40%. Our fastest placements have been delivered in less than 24 hours from initial request to work starting. This is made possible by our urgent response capability, providing ready-to-go HR specialists for critical situations such as employee relations issues, regulatory deadlines, restructures or unexpected leadership gaps.

Let us know the timelines you are working toward and we will prioritise your request accordingly.

We have fully embraced the shift towards remote and hybrid working across HR and people functions. Our consultants understand the specific requirements of these models, from assessing a candidate’s ability to work independently and manage stakeholders remotely to evaluating communication, judgement and collaboration in distributed environments. This allows us to connect organisations with HR professionals who are proven to perform effectively in flexible working models.

In today’s competitive HR market, limiting your search to local candidates can slow hiring and restrict access to specialist expertise. Remote and hybrid hiring opens up a broader and more diverse talent pool, often improving speed to hire, cost efficiency and retention. Our borderless approach helps clients build strong, resilient people functions wherever the right expertise is located.

We manage every stage of the hiring journey to ensure a smooth onboarding experience for both clients and candidates. From coordinating interviews to advising on assessment approaches and best practice, our consultants ensure you engage with HR professionals who are the right functional and cultural fit for your organisation. Once you have identified your preferred candidate, we support salary benchmarking, offer management and contract coordination to ensure a clear and efficient process.

Following placement, we remain closely involved with both client and candidate to address any early challenges and support a successful transition into the role. Beyond individual hires, our consulting expertise also supports organisations with workforce planning, leadership transitions and people function optimisation, helping you remain agile, compliant and effective as your organisation evolves.

At Interval, success is defined by lasting impact. We remain in close contact with both clients and HR professionals after each placement to ensure expectations are aligned on both sides. Our consultants actively gather feedback on performance, cultural fit and overall satisfaction to confirm the engagement is delivering meaningful value.

This ongoing dialogue allows us to strengthen relationships, refine our approach and ensure every placement contributes to long-term success for both organisations and people leaders.

We believe clear and consistent communication is essential to a successful recruitment process. Our consultants keep you informed at every stage, providing regular updates on progress, feedback from interviews, and any changes to timelines. Our client and candidate portals allow you to see the latest updates on your jobs or applications in real-time. While the frequency of updates may vary depending on the role and urgency, we ensure you are never left guessing. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you'd like an update.
