Is It Legal for Principal Employers to Directly Interview Candidates for Contract Services?

Dear Sir, Please confirm if the following process is the correct way to invite applications from applicants: accept applications, organize interviews, select a candidate, and then inform the consultant by the principal employer to issue an appointment letter to the candidate for contract services. If this process is not legally correct, please provide details to demonstrate that it can be disproved against the principal employer when considering sham contracts.

The principal employer interfering in the selection process, fixing the salary, and deciding the conditions of service of a contract worker will make the contract between the principal employer and the contractor a sham. It may even lead to their regularization.
