Have you wondered if all the new hires are really permanent employees or temporary/contract employees? When the first few hiring freezes came into effect that was for a reason. To deceive everyone especially those in IT. Did you notice that soon only contract/temp employees were coming onboard? They're not really temp or contract. They work for the consulting company that will facilitate the offshoring of just about every job in IT. Those hires are learning, taking notes, getting the lay of the land so that when the switch is flipped and US based IT is terminated overnight we can continue running without a hitch.

It just happened on my team.
Time to dust off my resume LOL
Anecdotally,
i have noticed the newer/more recent hires (sample size of 3-4) have all been contractors,
So Yes, i would tend to agree with your observation.
However, these contractors are U.S. citizens.
So i disagree with your remark:
"They work for the consulting company that will facilitate the OFFSHORING of just about every job in IT."
However,
If the new contractors on "your" team all seem to be Foreigners...
then Yes,
the Writing is Probably on the Wall. o_O
