Talent Tip #77: The New York Times: An Unlikely Ally in Helping Us Find Talent

March 19, 2016

Talent Tip #77: The New York Times: An Unlikely Ally in Helping Us Find Talent 

If The New York Times is writing about you, you’re making a difference.

That’s what a friend in the liberty movement told me after The New York Times ran a story about Talent Market last week.

To the surprise of many, The Times described Talent Market in ways we can’t help but take as compliments:

  • “Clients say Talent Market excels at finding hard-to-attract…staff members and at time-consuming searches for senior officials. But its greatest value may be in connecting far-flung organizations with talent they might not otherwise find.”
  • “In many ways, [Talent Market] is the casting director for the…liberty movement.”

And my favorite:

  • “…the visible hand for those who worship the invisible hand.”

Wow. That line almost feels like a group hug with The New York Times, Adam Smith, and Talent Market. Did I just enter an alternate universe?

Our only complaint was that Jon Caldara, our friend and President of the Independence Institute, got the lead photo. I mean, he’s jaw-droppingly handsome and all, but what about the folks who work at, um, Talent Market? To paraphrase a friend, including photos of the all-female staff at Talent Market would have blown the image of the male-dominated right wingers that The New York Times’ readers have come to know and love. Good point.

All kidding aside, the story has brought Talent Market to the attention of many free-marketeers who have an interest in joining the liberty movement. (Yes, apparently some of them read the NYT!) We’ve heard from people all across the country – and around the globe – who read the story and want to get involved.  Needless to say, we are thrilled to be connected with our new friends.

And for this, we thank The Gray Lady. By putting Talent Market on the radar of an untold number of people who want to fight for liberty, the paper is helping us build a bench of talent that will make the world a freer and more prosperous place.

Wait, You’re a Nonprofit?

Talent Market is a nonprofit. We’ll wait here while that sinks in. We know it’s a crazy concept, but it’s been working like a charm since 2009.

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

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 believes that the road to prosperity is paved with freedom and that the success of our movement hinges on the talent that will take us there.
