§ The result
CodeSignal leads XOR on 6 of the 7 criteria.
CodeSignal sits 13 points above XOR under rubric v1.0 — 43 against 30 — with CodeSignal filed under Assessment and XOR under Screening. CodeSignal leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so XOR is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 CodeSignal leads is Post-Market Monitoring, CodeSignal 38 to XOR 33. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (CodeSignal 45, XOR 18, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage CodeSignal holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
CodeSignal
CodeSignal is a technical skills assessment and interview platform for developer hiring that adds AI features including an AI Interviewer, AI-assisted/agentic coding assessments, and AI-plus-human proctoring.
Vendor profile
XOR
XOR is a text-first conversational-AI recruiting platform that pre-screens and scores high-volume and hourly candidates with recruiter-defined knockout/scoring questions over SMS, WhatsApp, and Messenger, then auto-schedules interviews on the recruiter's calendar.
§ The record
CodeSignal is filed under Assessment AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of NYC LL 144, Illinois HB 3773, EU AI Act and Colorado AI Act. Only CodeSignal is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +13.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +13 beside that +13.2.

§ 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.
