Not necessarily.  I've been given a raise by an agency on the same
contract.  It may depend on the agency and their relationship with you.

The contract between the IT company and the recruiter is between them and
sets a cost of supplying a worker.

A contract between the recruiter and the worker sets a wage for the worker.

There is usually enough fat in the profits of the recruiter to allow an
increase.
