A friend has an offer to be a contract recruiter for 6 months. However, he’s only going to be allowed no more than 40 hours per week. This is his 1st contract job. Is this normal? What if he’s unable to fill the duties within this time? Sounds like a set up for failure since he says he’ll easily have 35-40 requisitions at a time. Thoughts?

HI there. If they are only allowing him to work 40 hours it means they don't want to incur overtime costs. It is a normal request. It is going to be up to him to manage his time and not work more than 40 hours/ week and to communicate to whomever he is working on what he's able to accomplish in that time. We all know that recruiters can work 24/7. Communication will be key.
