Question 1

What types of strategy roles does Interval specialise in placing?

Accepted Answer

Interval supports a wide range of strategic, commercial and transformation-focused roles across all levels of seniority. This includes Chief Strategy Officers, Strategy Directors, Heads of Strategy, Commercial Strategy Managers, GTM and Pricing Leaders, Transformation Directors, Programme Leads, PMO specialists, Business Analysts, Corporate Development professionals and senior board-level strategic advisors.

We work across industries and help clients secure specialists for both permanent and interim positions, as well as building full project teams for complex programmes.

Question 2

How does Interval evaluate the strategic capability and expertise of candidates?

Accepted Answer

Our assessment process combines structured interviews, competency-based evaluation and deep review of each candidate’s strategic track record. We look for evidence of problem-solving ability, analytical rigour, structured thinking and communication skills, as well as the tangible business outcomes they have delivered.

Where appropriate, candidates may also complete case assessments or scenario exercises that reflect real strategic challenges. Our consultants apply insights from both industry and management consulting to ensure only high-quality profiles are submitted.

The goal is simple - to ensure every professional we recommend has the proven skills, mindset and experience to make a measurable impact from day one.

Question 3

How does Interval stay up to date with market, industry and strategy trends?

Accepted Answer

We monitor key developments across sectors, engage with our strategy talent network and stay close to emerging trends in GTM, digital transformation, operating model change and corporate strategy.

Our consultants participate in industry discussions, review sector reports and work directly with clients undergoing strategic change, allowing us to maintain a current and informed perspective.

This ensures that the advice and talent we provide reflect the realities of today’s competitive landscape.

Question 4

Can Interval help with urgent or time-sensitive strategy hires?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Interval maintains a bench of pre-vetted interim strategists, programme leaders and transformation specialists who are ready to support clients at short notice.

For urgent needs, such as a critical programme launch or leadership gap, our team activates an accelerated search process, drawing first from our existing network before conducting targeted outreach. We typically provide shortlists within 24-48 hours, ensuring business-critical initiatives do not slow down.

Just let us know what timelines you are working toward and we will prioritise your request.

Question 5

Does Interval support remote, hybrid and international strategy roles?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our strategy network spans the UK, Europe, North America and APAC markets. Many of our candidates have experience delivering cross-border strategy, GTM and transformation work, including remote and hybrid delivery models.

We can source talent that works fully remotely, onsite or in hybrid formats depending on your requirements. For international expansion or market entry, we can also provide strategists with specific regional expertise.

Question 6

How does Interval ensure successful delivery in strategy consulting engagements?

Accepted Answer

Success begins with clear scoping, alignment and governance. We define objectives, deliverables and milestones before the engagement starts, ensuring every consultant is set up for success.

Throughout the project, we provide structured delivery frameworks, senior oversight and ongoing communication with your stakeholders. Our consultants work collaboratively with internal teams, bringing analytical discipline and pragmatic execution.

For larger projects, we provide blended teams covering strategy, PMO, analysis and change management, ensuring end-to-end delivery from initial design through to execution.

Question 7

How does Interval measure the success of a strategy engagement or placement?

Accepted Answer

We align with your goals at the outset, establishing clear expectations, measurable outcomes and agreed milestones. For consulting engagements, success is evaluated based on delivery quality, progress against the plan, adoption by stakeholders and the impact on your business.

For recruitment and interim placements, we measure retention, performance feedback, cultural fit and the long-term value delivered by the hire. Post-engagement reviews help ensure continuous improvement across both our consulting and talent services.

Question 8

How often will I receive updates on my strategy hiring or consulting project?

Accepted Answer

Communication is tailored to your preference, but most clients receive structured updates weekly or bi-weekly. For high-priority projects, rapid hiring or active transformation programmes, we can provide more frequent touchpoints - including daily stand-ups or integrated project governance.

You will always have a single point of contact responsible for progress, timelines and candidate or consultant updates, ensuring complete visibility.

Question 9

Does Interval support early-stage companies, start-ups and new ventures?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly support new businesses with early strategic planning, business formation, incorporation support, initial market validation and early-stage GTM planning.

We help founders define their business model, understand their regulatory landscape, assess market feasibility and establish the foundations needed to scale responsibly.

For operational setup, we can assist with key hires across strategy, commercial, finance and product in addition to providing senior advisors who guide early growth.

Question 10

Can Interval deliver end-to-end strategy projects or only provide talent?

Accepted Answer

Interval provides both strategy consulting and strategic resourcing, and clients often combine the two to suit their needs.

We can deliver complete consulting engagements - including GTM strategy, transformation roadmaps, operating model redesign, commercial optimisation and ESG strategy - with clear deliverables and measurable outcomes.

Alternatively, we can supply individual strategists, analysts or leaders on an interim or permanent basis. Many clients begin with a consulting engagement and continue with ongoing strategic support or interim leadership as needs evolve.
