Bus/Financial - Human Resources / Personnel trends
French term or phrase: effectifs vendus
This is from a summary of the workforce trends (new appointments, drop-out rate, number of redundancies and retirements, etc.) in a global corporate group:

"Les effectifs vendus représentent XXX personnes au niveau du Groupe, dont XX en Europe."

Does this refer to specific arrangements whereby companies "sell" their personnel to others?
