'''Talent Market''' is a limited liability company (LLC) owned by [[DonorsTrust]], a donor advised fund favored by the billionaire [[Koch]] network of ultra-wealthy right-wingers for its easy cloaking of donations to political allies. It was founded in 2009 by former President and CEO of DonorsTrust [[Whitney Ball]], President of the [[State Policy Network]] (SPN) [[Tracie Sharp]], and Talent Market Executive Director [[Claire Kittle Dixon]].<ref name="da">David Armiak, [http://www.exposedbycmd.org/2017/06/28/talent-market-libertarian-headhunter-koch-bradley-foundation/ Talent Market: The Libertarian Headhunting Firm Serving the Koch Network and the Bradley Foundation], ''ExposedbyCMD'', June 28, 2017.</ref>

==Headhunting for the Right-Wing==
Internal documents from the [[Bradley Foundation]] reveal that Talent Market serves as the preferred head hunting agency of the right-wing. The firm "has helped place over 270 leaders, fundraisers, and lawyers at more than 160 right-wing think tanks, media groups and advocacy organizations nationwide. Talent Market also acts as a consultant to the right-wing on 'strategies for retaining top talent, including role changes, performance reviews, incentive programs and training,' (DonorsTrust, Grant Proposal Record, 6/2/2015)."<ref name="da"/>
The [http://www.exposedbycmd.org/bradley-files/ Bradley Files] also show that Talent Market,
:"has created and maintained a large database of individuals who would qualify for mid and senior level positions in a variety of conservative think tanks, grassroots and grasstops institutions, and development and communications organizations. This database serves as a source of information on candidate availability, appropriate salary ranges for vacant positions and candidate qualifications, relocation trends, hiring timelines and other information for hiring” (Donors Trust, Grant Proposal Record, 2/23/16)."<ref name="da"/>
Leaders placed by Talent Market in right-wing think tanks include:
*[[Lawson Bader]], President of the [[Competitive Enterprise Institute]] (now President and CEO of DonorsTrust and Donors Capital Fund)
*David Bobb, President of the [[Bill of Rights Institute]]
*[[David Keating]], President of the [[Center for Competitive Politics]]
*[[Mike Stenhouse]], CEO of the [[Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity]]
*John Tsarpalas, President of the [[Nevada Policy Research Institute]]
==Hiring "Legal Talent" for State Litigation Alliance==
David Armiak writes in "Talent Market: The Libertarian Headhunting Firm Serving the Koch Network and the Bradley Foundation,"
:"The Bradley files also show that Talent Market has been “successful in identifying legal talent” for the Goldwater Institute-led and Bradley funded “litigation alliance,” placing counsel at Goldwater, [[Illinois Policy Institute]]’s Liberty Justice Center, and the [[Institute for Justice]] (Donors Trust, Grant Proposal Record, 2/23/16). In 2014, the Bradley Foundation provided $350,000 in seed money for litigator [[Clint Bolick]] “initiative to create a state litigation alliance” (Report: Goldwater Institute, 2016). The Bradley Price recipient Bolick was vice president for litigation at the [[Goldwater Institute]] at the time. Today Bolick is on the Arizona Supreme Court. The state litigation alliance “helps research and identify those states that have greatest potential for advancing state-constitutional law – then trains and, if asked, mentors attorneys who can either lead or staff existing or newly-created legal centers elsewhere, with an intensive ‘litigation boot camp’ for interested conscripts,” Bradley staff writes. In all, Bradley has contributed $600,000 to the state litigation alliance because it “retains great potential to continue maximizing the benefit of Bradley’s much other recent strategic grantmaking to improve conservative infrastructures” (Goldwater Institute, Grant History Record, 11/10/14). Recent job listings at Talent Market show that Executive Director Dixon is recruiting attorneys for the [[Texas Public Policy Foundation]] and the Washington-based [[Freedom Foundation]], both also members of the litigation alliance."<ref name="da"/>
==Hiring Political Operatives==
David Armiak writes in "Talent Market: The Libertarian Headhunting Firm Serving the Koch Network and the Bradley Foundation,"
:"As a wholly owned LLC of DonorsTrust, a registered 501(c)(3), Talent Market cannot get involved in politics or help organizations other than registered 501(c)(3)s. An email Executive Director Dixon wrote to Dr. Brad Hobbs on February 16, 2016, confirms this, “We do not work with 501(c)(4)s, 501(c)(6)s, 527s, or government entities.” Talent Market’s Mission statement states in italics that “We do not work in politics.” Yet the website lists “Politics/Campaigns” as one of its job categories and the work of SPN groups is often highly political. SPN groups funded by the Bradley Foundation, for instance, work to crush unions and turn blue states red.
:Bradley staff notes that Talent Market helped one of its favorite grantees get off the ground. Talent Market helped American Majority find “a national executive director, two state directors, and multiple field directors,” (Donors Trust, Grant Proposal Record, 6/2/15). As Mary Bottari points out in [http://www.exposedbycmd.org/2017/05/05/documents-detail-bradley-foundation-efforts-build-right-wing-infrastructure-nationwide/ “Weaponized Philanthropy”], “American Majority was founded by the sons of Rep. Jim Ryun (R-KS) specifically for the purpose of training people to run for office.” American Majority is registered as a 501(c)3 but it also has a registered 501(c)4: American Majority Action. The national executive director for American Majority, Matt Batzel, is also the national executive director for American Majority Action. Talent Market filled this position, according to Bradley."<ref name="da"/>
==Ties to the Bradley Foundation==
David Armiak reports that the Bradley Files reveal that,
:"Bradley did not contribute to Talent Market until 2015 when it needed to hire a new Vice President for External Relations. Talent Market was utilized for the search and Bradley hired Jessica F. Dean for the position. Dean also serves as President of the Bradley Impact Fund, Bradley’s own donor advised fund. Although Talent Market advertises its services as “free” on its website, Bradley gave $30,000 to Talent Market through DonorsTrust in 2015, (DonorsTrust, Grant Proposal Record, 6/2/2015). Another Bradley accounting spreadsheet titled, “2015-1099 Vendors Summary” lists Executive Director Claire Kittle Dixon under the column “Vendor Name” and “search firm” in the column “Services.” In 2016, Bradley gave $50,000 on March 16 to Talent Market through DonorsTrust (Grant Review, Board Meeting, 2/23/16). Talent Market’s services were utilized that year to hire a new Vice President for Programs: Carl Helstrom. Talent Market promoted the hire in a May 2017 email. Bradley’s $50,000 “grant” represents over a sixth of Talent Market’s 2016 operating budget of $275,500."<ref name="da"/>
