I used to work for a Python shop where developers were routinely replaced by workers from an Asian country after quitting. Results were mixed. The quality of their work was mediocre, which is impressive considering how cheap they were. Their biggest weaknesses were their inability to follow [well-documented] processes and their poor communication skills, which was a bit of a nightmare for middle management. All in all, if your company is a bodyshop, you will probably benefit from outsourcing some projects to an even cheaper bodyshop. If your company is looking for people with that "X factor", you will just get frustrated and lose money.
