ISTM that a contract recruiter should be most concerned about how much, how often, and for how long s/he gets paid. An internal recruiter should be most concerned about making his/her boss look good through whatever s/he does so as to keep/ get promoted in their job..

Other metrics are subordinate or irrelevant and should be compiled by outsourced non-recruiting clerical staff. Happy Friday, Keith Hmmm.
