Body shopping
Body shopping is the practice of consultancy firms recruiting information technology workers in order to contract their services out on a short-term basis. Regarded as legitimate consultancy by both the companies that practice it and by the people employed, body shopping is disparaged by those IT service companies that assert that they provide real services (such as software development) rather than the "sham" of merely farming out professionals to overseas companies.
== History and origin ==
Body shopping in IT originated during the period of 1993-1999 when there was huge demand for people with mainframe, COBOL and related technology skills to prevent systems being affected by the Y2K bug.
Most specialist Y2K consulting companies operating in the US, Europe, the Middle East, Japan and Australia outsourced their manpower requirements to technology companies operating in India, which are now global forerunners in off-shoring and outsourcing.
During the period of 1996-97, these companies responded to the heavy demand by recruiting and training local graduates in India specifically for Y2K. Their consultants either worked on-shore or off-shore at high utilization rates generating huge profit margins. The high profit margin during this period resulted in fast growth and sufficient assets to expand operations to other IT related business segments post-Y2K.
