Do you see how your metrics have nothing to do with metrics of quality?

No. And from reading forums here on how to measure site and link quality I'm not sure how I would easily define quality in a job request for a company who knows nothing about SEO, my market or my company. I'm not taking offence, I'm truly curious how you would define quality in such a situation. What parameters would you put on your job request that would ensure quality links? I suppose it's quite possible that this can't be done without an understanding of the market and company, but then that's a different issue. When I posted the job request I certainly realized that I wasn't going to get the kind of link development that I would do if I had the time to do it myself, but that's a trade off I felt I had to make.
