Two approaches to hire qualified military talent.
Our Military Fellowships reinvent how companies hire directly from active duty service, while our Ready-To-Hire program gives you immediate access to the country’s best available veteran talent.
Military Fellowships

Allows candidates to leave base, travel to the city where they want to live, and jump into a company fulltime while still on active duty
Ready-to-Hire Veterans

A military career change done right.
I was a Munitions Specialist. I built bombs. How am I supposed to translate that into a new career? When I started to think about leaving the military, my biggest fear was that my military experience wouldn’t necessarily make sense to people who haven’t been through that experience. Shift wanted to hear my story, and they really understood how my service translated into things that matter."
