Technically, it means nothing for IR35.
Practically, it could tell you something about the client's view, that they are looking for people rather than for service providers, and you're one of the people they like. That could mean that they will say and do things that make it harder for you to stay outside.
That's probably not an issue if it is a relatively short-term project (6-9 months or less) and then you are going away. If they want you around for longer, you may find yourself in a constant tug-of-war on working practices to stay outside.
So you may want to be more alert to 'stuff' if you take the role. But this, on itself, means nothing about IR35. It's just a possible pointer to a mindset that could be problematic.
