§ The result
Dayforce leads Recruitly on all 7 criteria.
The ATS-integrated cohort pairing of Dayforce and Recruitly comes out 57 to 41 under rubric v1.0, a 16-point lead for Dayforce. Dayforce takes all 7 criteria and Recruitly none of them; the nearest contest is Post-Market Monitoring, Dayforce 47 to Recruitly 45. The advantage Dayforce holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Dayforce 74, Recruitly 45, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 36% of the weighted points Dayforce gains across the 7 criteria it leads.
