What is the usual name for "prestataires", e.g. engineers that are not really on the payroll of a company, but are - sometimes for a long period of time - indirectly hired through "travail temporaire" companies?
I need to say "I've met four engineers, among which X & Y were prestataires only".
Context:
Many companies, in France, don't hire "in-house" engineers, but instead hire temporary people from specialized companies (Altran, etc.)
Often, they do so not because the job is a one-shot task, but because laying off unused task force is considered too complex in France.
The result is that many large companies have such "prestataires" who have been working for years with them - still not on the payroll...
Thanks for any help!
