§ The result
Employment Hero leads Aon Assessment on all 7 criteria.
Employment Hero, filed under Screening, comes out 13 points above Aon Assessment, filed under Assessment: 48 against 35 under rubric v1.0. Employment Hero leads every one of the 7 criteria, Aon Assessment none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Bias Audit Transparency, Aon Assessment 30 to Employment Hero 35. The advantage Employment Hero holds is spread out: Post-Market Monitoring is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Aon Assessment 25, Employment Hero 50, 12% weight), yet it supplies only 23% of the weighted points Employment Hero gains across the 7 criteria it leads.
