§ The result
iCIMS leads CodeSignal on 6 of the 7 criteria.
iCIMS sits 12 points above CodeSignal under rubric v1.0 — 55 against 43 — with iCIMS filed under ATS-integrated and CodeSignal under Assessment. iCIMS leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so CodeSignal is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 iCIMS leads is Human Oversight Design, CodeSignal 55 to iCIMS 58. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (CodeSignal 45, iCIMS 68, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage iCIMS holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -11.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -12 beside that -11.8.

§ 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.
