§ The result
BrightHire leads Jobvite on all 7 criteria.
BrightHire scores 51 and Jobvite 45 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Screening and ATS-integrated cohorts. BrightHire is ahead of Jobvite on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Article 11 Technical Documentation at BrightHire 52 to Jobvite 50. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (BrightHire 50, Jobvite 38, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage BrightHire holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +5.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +5.6.

§ Evidence
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.
