"Detachment"... what's the word for it?
Here in the Netherlands we have the word "detachering" to describe agencies/people who place/are placed into projects of other companies.
For example, an old classmate of mine was detached at Philips, which means he'll be working at Philips in a project, but is employed by this "detachment" agency.
Googling for "detachment" turns up too many medical sites for my liking, so my guess is that I'm not looking for the right word.
So what's the word for this?

Also, while you're at it, can you name some of these agencies?
