INTERVAL CONSULTING SERVICES LTD

What INTERVAL CONSULTING SERVICES LTD does

Interval Consulting Services Ltd, operating as Interval Group, is a privately held boutique recruitment and consulting firm founded in 2021 by managing partners Kim Napeñas (public sector) and Rik Mistry (private sector). The firm is headquartered in London at 124 City Road (EC1V 2NX), with additional offices in Dublin and Naas, Ireland, and claims operational reach across 85 countries with access to more than 20 million professionals in its talent pool. Its core services split between recruitment (permanent, contract/freelance and retained executive search) and consulting (management consulting, programme delivery, technology transformation, digital, PR and training), delivered across eight practice areas: Technology, Strategy, Finance, Life Sciences, Human Resources, Training, Marketing and Administrative.

Revenue is generated through transaction fees on permanent placements (calculated on agreed salary once the candidate starts), timesheet-aligned billing for contract and freelance recruitment, and Statement-of-Work-based professional services fees for consulting and executive search. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and rebates or replacement guarantees apply to early placement endings under certain conditions. Engagement is direct and enterprise-led, supported by dedicated Client and Candidate portals, a corporate website, a jobs board (jobs.intervalgroup.com), and content marketing across LinkedIn and an Insights Hub.

Interval serves both public sector bodies (e.g., a German state authority modernisation engagement covering 455,000 employees) and private enterprises across technology, energy, construction, life sciences, finance and banking (e.g., a major US bank, a national electricity grid operator, a global construction leader). It reports 120+ client organisations, 250+ cumulative engagements, 100% client recommendation, and a stated one-hour average enquiry response time. The firm holds an ICO data controller registration (ZB253665), an Irish Employment Agency licence (EA5130), GDPR/UK GDPR compliance, and certifications including Disability Confident Employer and MSDUK membership. No revenue, headcount, funding, or investor data is disclosed.
