No, he worked for a company which was sub-contracted to HP.

It's all part of a covert campaign to give contractors a bad name. The end game is to declare the PCG a terrorist organisation and have us all sit in little cells wearing orange jumpsuits and coding for peanuts.

I think the US model blurs the line more between a contractor and permie, largely because it's so easy to fire permies. I don't think Alexis was a long term employee of The Experts, just hired and fired for each contract they had to fulfil to their clients. It seems they hired him multiple times over the past year for various defence contracts.
