Manufacturer NA Part # NA Brand Preference Not Applicable - Service Item | 1.0 | Lump-Sum | **Questions and Answers**: | Question | Answer | |---|---| | Has Riverbay evaluated the cost of recurring search fees against building internal talent attraction capability? For an organization of ~1,000 employees, contingency fees on a handful of hard-to-fill roles per year can exceed the cost of a careers presence that would reduce or remove that dependency going forward. If the scope is fixed to this single placement, understood. If Riverbay would consider a proposal addressing the underlying attraction capability, please advise whether that would be responsive to this solicitation or better directed elsewhere.
