Spanish term or phrase: concatenación de contrataciones
With regard to hiring temporary workers, my document (from Spain) talks about "el tipo de contrato "eventual", no siendo habitual la concatenación de contrataciones."

... with successive periods of employment not being usual.
Explanation:
Or "successive periods of employment being unusual".
This refers to a serious problem in our working population profile, in which newly-established temp-work agencies (there was no previous tradition) simply recruit at convenience, without a view to keeping a good worker occupied on fairly regular terms, as occurs in Britain and the States. The result is a young first-employment population that goes from one temp agency to another without any prospect of future stability, and the bad reputation of temp-work agencies.

Sub-contracting chains


Explanation:
This sounds more "English".
The context suggest that it is considered something undesireable, with connotations of chain letters, Pyramid selling, etc.
