Under rubric v1.0, BambooHR and Recruitly finish 2 points apart, 43 to 41, as two ATS-integrated entries. Recruitly leads more of the criteria than BambooHR — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which BambooHR leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to BambooHR. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (BambooHR 28, Recruitly 15) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 54% of the weighted advantage BambooHR holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +2.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +2.2.

Cited sources and documented absences, criterion by criterion.
An absence is a finding, not a blank: the reviewer looked for a named artefact and recorded that it is not located. Where a source sits is a fact about hosting only.
