Turn your discipline, resilience, and leadership into career assets that hiring managers can’t ignore.
At Shift Group, we believe your background is your biggest asset—when you know how to use it.
That’s why our approach starts by helping former athletes and veterans recognize the transferable skills they already bring to the table. Because the skills developed in a locker room, on a field, or in the military aren’t just relevant to business—they’re often exactly what companies need.
So let’s talk about transferable skills: what they are, why they matter, and how we help our candidates apply them in high-impact roles across industries.
The Skills You Can’t Teach
Every company wants people who show up ready to compete—mentally tough, team-oriented, and coachable. That’s not just a wish list. That’s exactly what veterans and athletes do best.
These are the qualities we see time and time again in Shift Group candidates:
- Discipline – Showing up early, staying late, doing the work no one sees. You’ve lived that.
- Resilience – You’ve bounced back from losses, injuries, or setbacks—and kept pushing.
- Communication – You’ve led huddles, briefings, and group missions. You know how to keep people aligned and motivated.
- Adaptability – Whether it’s a last-minute game plan shift or a field op gone sideways, you know how to pivot under pressure.
- Leadership – You’ve led from the front—and understand what it takes to earn trust and drive performance.
These are the exact same skills that lead to success in roles like business development, operations, product management, finance, and more.
You Bring the Grit. We Help Translate It.
Here’s the truth: your skills are already sharp. You just need a new playbook.
Our training isn’t about reinventing who you are—it’s about helping you apply what you’ve already learned to a new arena. We’ll teach you how to tell your story, how to talk about your experience in business language, and how to approach new roles with the same mindset that made you elite in your previous world.
We’ve seen athletes go from the court to closing six-figure deals. We’ve seen veterans go from the battlefield to the boardroom. And the through line in every success story? Transferable skills.
Why Employers Are Paying Attention
The companies we work with don’t hire athletes and veterans out of charity. They come to us because they know what our candidates bring—and they keep coming back because it works.
When a former quarterback becomes a quota-crushing BDR, or a platoon leader steps into a high-growth strategy role and thrives, it changes how hiring managers think about talent. It raises the bar.
And that’s what Shift Group is here to do.
Your Skills Still Matter. Let’s Put Them to Work.
Whether you wore a jersey or a uniform, your experience has value. You’ve already proven you can perform under pressure. Now it’s time to unlock that potential in a new environment.
We’ll help you get there.
