"My boss judges me by how many things I've done, but what matters is what I've done."
"Well, quality over quantity." OR "Maybe you should remind him, quality over quantity." OR "Maybe you should remind him that it's often better to value quality over quantity."

The phrase is usually "you can't judge a book by its cover" ('a' instead of 'the').
I'm not sure what you mean by contents and numbers.

I mean, contents of the job, not number of the job. I want to say is 数字よりも中身が大事.
someone tends to put emphasis on how many jobs others do, but the important thing is what others do.

Them: "They only work one job? They must be lazy."
You: "They work sixty hours a week. Don't judge a book by its cover."
It works if they mention a specific point (laziness).

For example," my boss judge me by how many things I've done, but the matter is what I've done."

In that case, where the boss is (presumably) familiar with the worker, it seems a strange phrase. It's usually used when the person who is judging has little to no knowledge of something other than the one thing they're judging on.
