Who’s is a contraction of ‘who is’ or ‘who has’. Whose, on the other hand, is the possessive form of ‘who’ and functions as an adjective or pronoun. “whose” is the correct usage as per the given context.
When compound adjectives include a number + a time period, the word referring to the time period is always in singular form and is joined to the number with a hyphen. Hence “eight-year” is the correct form.
