Bait and switch

I have a question to anyone who can answer. Twice now in the past week I have submitted resume's to 2 companies that posted the job I was applying for as " Direct Hire", and after initial phone interviews, both directed me to different temporary job services, where I was also required to fill out a lot of personal information through a site called E-mail Validation/DocuSign. This seemed kinda fishy to me since I was under the assumption these were Direct Hire posted positions and I wasn't even interviewed personally yet, let alone confirmed Hired which was a required field in the DocuSign forms. Not to mention they also wanted #SSN and bank account information. Is this normal practice? I have sent e-mails to both companies requesting clarification on these issues and have yet to hear back from either of them. Any insight would be helpful. Is this a bait and switch tactic? Both places seemed very interested in my qualifications.
