He is a Recruiter and is jobless; he has 2 offers on the table; each one has its pros and cons
He is asking my advice, but I'm very bad at that, so I'm asking you guys.
This is the email he sent me :
By the way, he has 6-7 years of solid experience, so maybe that's why he doesn't want to be micromanaged

Need advice quick.
I have 2 offers on the table.
- The first one is exactly what im looking for : great environment, no micromanagement, would hire for the company itself, but its a 3 month contract.
Extension is a possibility, but there is no guarantee of that either.
(if it was long term or perm, it would be a no brainer).
- The other one is permanent, it's a staffing agency; you can make lots of money (thanks to commissions), but it's extremely micromanaged, and I mean micromanaged on steroids ... not to mention they want me to call superstar candidates if a client wants to hire him - outside of working hours, like 7 pm or during the weekend.
Plus they want me to book at least 15 high profile candidates for face to face interviews each week .... that's right, each week ... I know Recruters with 20 years of experience who meet only 5 candidates/week and they have great results
They took me out to lunch in a nice restaurant today (when they are so nice, it means they like you, but i had the impression they were doing it to sugar coat things; i could be wrong)
For $$$$ reasons, I cant afford to apply for other jobs and wait for other companies to get back to me.
****ing dilemna
