COMPANY FAQS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We’re not another recruiting service trying to win your business. We offer a software platform for you to transparently connect with trained, vetted sales talent anytime, then you can add your favorite candidates to your existing recruiting funnel.
Most of our candidates are just transitioning into the working world after years of competitive sports or military service. So, while their existing work experience may place them at a more junior level, they prepare, practice, and execute like seasoned professionals. We also have experienced candidates that you can easily find in the platform.
To start you’ll search for candidates and filter the results based on location, demographics, work location preference, training performance ranking, and start date. Then, from your Company Dashboard you’ll be able to see the candidates you’ve favorited and started conversations with, and can request specific next steps such as interviews and assignments.

Our sales training curriculum and candidates’ skill sets are industry agnostic, so we work with companies of all industries and sizes to fill open sales roles with motivated salespeople.

In addition to career coaching, we train our candidates on foundational sales skills. This includes prospecting foundations, how to make cold calls and write cold emails, how to qualify an account, how to build a 30/60/90 day success plan, and how to use common tools such as Salesforce and other contact databases.
We charge a percentage of base salary for each candidate you hire (contingent upon the candidate staying for 90 days). Once an agreement is in place, Shift connect is free for you to access in order to explore and engage with talent.

Partnering with Shift Group has been a game changer in our recruitment process for government sales executives. Within 30 days of partnering, we've had two accepted offers, both of which are great culture fits (retired Army Ranger and former D1 Baseball player with sales experience) and have direct relevant experience for our roles. The Shift Group portal makes it easy to browse through candidates on my own time and get a baseline on each candidate.

When managing an xDR team at a high-growth company, recruiting and hiring is critical. Partnering with Shift Group and their vast pool of candidates has been essential to maintaining sufficient coverage across the xDR org, and in molding our future sellers. The training program that JR and the team built out has upleveled the way we recruit, onboard, and scale our GTM team.

Finding the right sales talent in today’s market can be a challenge, but Shift makes the process a lot easier. Shift is unique in a couple of ways: 1. They focus exclusively on former athletes 2. They offer sales training to their candidates. This enables them to have a pipeline of candidates who not only have some fundamental training, but also possess the innate characteristics common in athletes that translate so well to sales: competitiveness, resilience, teamwork etc.

Working with Shift Group has been an easy and enjoyable experience right from the start. Retraining capable and driven individuals runs through the moral fibers of our company culture. JR put forward some passionate and interesting candidates, which are important qualities to look for in BDR's . Once we found the right fit for Olive, we hired her within a few days and from the get go she was well trained on internal sales platforms and was most importantly, competitive and hungry to crush targets. We will definitely be using Shift again for our sales hiring needs. Thanks team!

My first experience with Shift Group exceeded expectations in every phase of the relationship. From setting up the contract, understanding our business and our needs, all the way to finalizing our selected candidate. The team was prepared, efficient, and very professional in the engagement. The fact that Shift Group not only finds great candidates but prepares them for the process AND for early success in their new role is above and beyond in the market. I see Shift Group as a key long-term partner as I build and develop teams, they are perfectly aligned with our organizational development goals as well as our chosen go-to-market and selling methodologies.

Having worked with JR at our past company, he always had a knack for building great sales organizations and a great team culture. When he approached me with the idea for Shift Group – I was really excited about his vision. His execution has proven fantastic – every candidate we’ve gotten from Shift has had the key characteristics we look for when hiring sellers. They are over prepared for the interview process and step in to the seat on Day 1 understanding the habits and behaviors that are going to make them successful. We’re very excited to continue to grow our partnership with Shift Group as we continue to grow as an organization!
