Yeah I dunno about that... a long (or even short) list of 6-12 month C2H gigs that didn't turn into full-time jobs screams trouble -- either you're a jerk, or you're bad at the tech.

If you're consistently swinging from contract to contract you're a freelancer, and you should be arranging contracts accordingly, not letting headhunters/recruiters control the playbook by dangling full-time employment.

I agree with the grandparent: C2H usually means you're unemployed, or you want out of your current gig badly, or you're aiming slightly higher than you're qualified; if you're qualified for the role and already have a job then they should be willing to take you on from the get-go.
