Uh, nope, it isn't.  The company you would be working for would indeed be the 
recruiter's company.  The company that they are working for is IBM.  The 
company that you would be working at would be IBM and the company that 
you would be doing the work for is IBM.  But your paycheck would be coming 
through the recruiter's company... minus their cut off the top.  (Presumably 
some of that cut would be paying for a fresh copy of William Strunk & E.B. 
White's "Elements of Style" to avoid e-mail postings like the one that began 
this thread.  At $9.95 from Amazon right now 
<http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Style-Fourth-William-
Strunk/dp/020530902X> you might think they could lower their cut... but that 
just isn't going to happen with recruiters, is it.)
