They might be, but they are a good jumping off point for a discussion during an interview. But also if you say something interesting, it will pique my interest enough that I at least want to talk to you about it in an interview.

Was going to say this. You need your resume to cover both types of people who will be looking at it. HR/Managers for initial screening and then developers for the real interview. For a startup where I know the dev or founder are seeing my resume right away, I wouldn't include those types of quantifications. If I'm applying at ${bigcorp} then it helps get you through round 1.

100% agree. Including numbers along with accomplishments was hammered into me at $bigcorp during performance review time.

Same applies to resumes. They are impressive to recruiters, HR and often hiring managers themselves.
