It could be outsourcing, but also could be consulting. I have an impression (and no way backed by data), that half jobs around here are not direct employee but people working for a consulting company, even tho they're 100% daily working for a client.
But even those consulting companies are having issues getting new developers but don't seem to be getting their salaries much higher.
