Die Durchstarter
AUT: The relaunchers


Explanation:
'durchstarten' is used for plane take-off and, in the Italian web ref. refers to the noun of relaunches as a 'repackaging' act.

Cross-qualifiers is a translation for 'Quereinsteiger' and is also a hackneyed concept, esp. in Austria. Coincidentally, 'relaunchers is translated as 'Wiedereinsteiger' in the second web ref.

Being a go-getter and being up for new challenges often go hand in hand but relaunching one's career is not a necessary component of being a Durchstarter.

Compare German and English definitions:

"an aggressively enterprising person"
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/go-getter

"jemand, der es darauf anlegt, möglichst rasch Erfolg zu haben"

agree  philgoddard: You need some references, though.
1 hr
  -> Yes, they're not difficult to find.
neutral  Birgit Gläser: The image of a go-getter is a successful person that achieves set goals while Durchstarter refers to someone with lacking/mediocre success who pours his all into a new attempt to either make a business/job successful after all or changes careers completly

The hotshots


Explanation:
Low as its not clear to me from the text whether this group is actually starting on a new (second) career or 'überhaupt' on their career.

lateral mover


Explanation:

Hiring managers look for people who bring the widest range of personal knowledge and experience about an operation. Contrary to that stale myth we described earlier, the lateral mover’s career is not dead. In fact, when it comes time for promotions, the person who knows the most about different aspects of the business has an edge over the competition and might just be the one who wins the job.
