Dita!!!!
Before I lose it completely, I just need one more round of "choose the student worker"
Candidate A
Second Semester Senior
Experience Organizing Large events
Can't start for a week
Likes animals
Completely well spoken on phone and in person (no awkward pauses, etc)
Because she is a senior, I will only have her for 3 months
Candidate B
Sophomore
Experience as an office worker/phone answerer
Already works for the School, so could start right away
Because she already works for the school, not available for more hours
Likes theatre
Because she is a sophomore, may not have to hire anyone for 2 years
HELP!

Which is more relevant experience to the position? Which do you feel like you will click with day to day?
I suspect from what you've said earlier that Candidate A is the superior candidate, but your main objection to her is the rehiring process. However, you have no guarantee that Candidate B will stick with you for the two years, so I think you should lessen that as your criteria and gauge the workers on how they will be for you doing the job.

I would have said Candidate B, because three months isn't worth it. Unless Candidate A has actually worked for your office before? Then she'd need less training.

You are right. The other problem I have is that I am afraid I am screwing over my relationship with the research department by not sharing a student with them-- which I often do in the summer when students can work 40 hours a week.

What makes you think you'd be screwing over your relationship? Had you already committed to doing so?
And hiring either of these students would not solve that, right?

Candidate B is research's student currently-- they can't guarantee her more than 10 hours and she wants 20. The student that I fired was also their student (and still works for them). When they found out my issues with her, they lent me Candidate B for a few days, and she was just fine (although I did not really train her)
