Free markets are not about just the power to allocate, but also transparent knowledge in a decision. The labor purchaser almost always has an advantage over the labor provider in their transaction and don't actually represent a free market. Even in the tech industry this is true.

They have so much more knowledge than you or I and it represents a huge advantage for them when hiring.
