Yes

Generally yes but a couple of points a) only matters if you're on an engagement and would otherwise be charging your time to a client code; b) the utilization calculation assumes you take your vacation in the denominator

I wish our denominator accounted for PTO...

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.
