Talent Market

Talent Market is a nonprofit whose mission is to promote liberty by providing talent for critical roles within the free-market nonprofit sector

Services

Talent Market is a nonprofit dedicated to identifying, placing, and retaining talent in key roles within liberty-oriented nonprofit organizations. In addition, Talent Market consults with nonprofits about a variety of issues related to talent.

We provide consulting and recruiting services at no cost to 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations that clearly and directly focus on advancing the principles of economic freedom, free enterprise, free trade, free speech, property rights, rule of law, and limited regulation. (We do not work with political organizations, organizations with mission statements that do not clearly advance free-market principles, organizations that focus on social issues, or organizations that have a focus outside of the United States. We are not a job board. ) 

Talent Market provides its services at no direct cost to its clients. We do this because we understand the talent deficit our movement faces, and we know our clients are operating on shoestring budgets.

Since Talent Market does not charge nonprofits for its services, it is only through the generosity of donors that we can continue our important work. Talent Market is a nonprofit and raises its own funds from individuals, organizations, and foundations.
