Sadly, I've been seeing the opposite. My large company keeps hiring groups of contractors out of India. They are low-quality and low-paid and are there for minor feature conversions. However, we see the company keeping them over strong employees every round of layoffs. The levels of technical debt someone will have to deal with in the future is absurd.

I think I know them, they are /producing/ low-quality /results/, but I woulnd't go THAT far.

It's like low-quality products from China. The Chinese companies are more than capable of producing high-quality products, but you get what you pay for. If you negotiate them down to the lowest price possible you get the lowest quality product possible that still meets your basic requirement.
