They all do, but here's an actual example from Tata (TCS). The company I used to work for hired them to support a complicated product requiring an unusual skillset, and the usual story ensued: they wooed the decision makers with the A team and then actually gave them the B team. They got even greedier, though: I stumbled on their hiring ads in the market in question (with the rare skillset requirements), and it was obvious they actively lowered the salary they were offering as the engagement went on, in order to boost their own margins. One year in even the B team was all gone and we were left with D to F- players.
- SanjayMehta 4y agoAll these "mass recruiters" do this. The first symptom will be a few fresh faces in training sessions who aren't billed to your project. Then systematically the experienced engineers will be pulled off your project (and dangled in front of a new client), while being replaced with the new chaps. Who are now billed, of course, at the full rate. Within a few weeks they'll replace every guy with new hires. But try explaining this to the bean counters. I can't believe they're still getting away with these stunts. I first saw it in 1999.
