Technically they are correct, you are direct employment under them.
Your payroll and benefits is under them as well..
juts that they outsource u to client and charge kao kao from client, this is how they earn money tho..
just act as a middle party to slaughter you

Usually is reputable organization, at least from my experience, eg petroxxx, maxxx, Prudenxxxx, etc..I heard nowadays these kind of organization prefer this kind of engagement, all under contract basic with 3rd party payroll, they seldom direct hired..Cause they can terminate the contract with the outsourcing company in case project finished or your service is no longer needed..And no need to pay compensation..This is difference case if u are direct employment under them..

Some is purely recruitment firm which just help those organization seek for talent. Usually is direct employment under clients one..

That's my understanding...

is mainly based on the contract you signed with the company, whether u are permanent with them or under contract, and the term n cond..
but normally they will just assigned you to other client (they serve multiple client one),
Or put you in their own internal project (if they have one)..
U are just a tools for them to make money , no career advancement for yourself..no training (most likely, some more reputable org may have)
so if have chance better avoid this kind of company...unless really jobless and hopeless
or use this as a chance to join their reputable client, eg: while joining the client try expand your network and build up your client's confident on yourself and your skill set, be friend with those client HOD or your manager, u might luckily get absorbed
