FAQ

For Prospective Businesses:

What type of businesses should apply?

At SHIFT, we welcome applications from a diverse range of businesses. Our services cater to two primary models. For businesses that consistently hire new intern/analyst classes and are always looking to grow their talent pool, SHIFT offers access to a pipeline of talented students every six months. Alternatively, businesses with short-term staffing needs can leverage SHIFT to connect with talented, elite students for short-term placements. Whether you're focused on ongoing talent development or need short-term staffing solutions, SHIFT is here to support your unique business needs while increasing the rate of females entering the corporate world


How many semesters do I have to commit my business to?

At SHIFT, we offer two distinct business models tailored to meet your recruiting needs. The first option allows businesses to engage in a comprehensive two-year rotation, providing access to four rounds of exceptionally talented female interns. Alternatively, businesses can opt for a more flexible approach by signing up for a six-month rotation


How much does it cost to participate?

SHIFT operates similar to traditional recruiting agencies, charging a percentage fee upon successful placement of a candidate from our program. Additionally, there is a semester fee that varies based on multiple business factors for semester participation. For new businesses, this fee is waived for the first semester to ensure SHIFT fits your business needs


Can I hire a student immediately or do I have to wait until they finish their program rotation?

The goal of SHIFT is to facilitate successful matches between students and businesses. While we encourage candidates to explore multiple industries for exposure, should a mutual fit arise, we are more than happy to facilitate immediate hiring directly from the program


Do I have to pay the students that work at my Company?

Yes, we expect businesses to pay interns for the services they provide, similar to a normal internship


For Prospective Graduates:

I don't want to travel or don't know how I would afford to break multiple leases. Do I have to take jobs in different cities?

While we encourage students to explore at least two different industries during the program, we recognize the challenges of frequent relocation. As such, it is not mandatory. Students have the flexibility to reside in various cities if they find it appealing or are uncertain about their preferred location. If you opt for this choice, SHIFT collaborates with numerous college housing and dorm programs nationwide, offering affordable and convenient living arrangements.


Do I have to commit to the full two-year program? Can I do one year instead?

We understand that a two-year commitment is a long time. To provide flexibility, we also offer one-year placement programs that consist of two six-month rotations


Will I have to interview with all four companies?

The short answer is it depends. The level of involvement and interview options vary based on the company. Some choose to actively engage by interviewing all candidates, while others may adopt a more hands-off approach


What salary will I be making?

Your salary will be competitive, aligned with industry standards for internships in the respective industries' markets
