would not be surprised if upper management in these tech firms are paid handsome kickbacks by these contractor companies (bodyshopping / staffing agencies) to re-hire staff as contractors. Many such staffing agencies firms, esp with those fewer than 100 staff, are known to be 'benami companies' and pay handsome kickbacks to the client's mgmt based on headcount hired (and hence the revenue generated) through them. Often these are routed through hawala method, and final payments made in foreign (or their respective native) countries , so would be hard to track
