§ The result
DevSkiller leads XOR on 6 of the 7 criteria.
DevSkiller scores 39 and XOR 30 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. DevSkiller 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 DevSkiller leads is Bias Audit Transparency, DevSkiller 22 to XOR 18. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (DevSkiller 35, XOR 20, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage DevSkiller holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
DevSkiller
DevSkiller (now branded SkillPanel) provides technical skills assessment and coding tests that automatically score developer candidates on real-world work-sample tasks using hidden verification unit tests and static code analysis.
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
DevSkiller 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 DevSkiller is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +8.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +8.7.

§ 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.

DevSkiller has 15 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 11 with a source URL, 4 documented absences; XOR has 18 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 11 with a source URL, 7 documented absences; some documentation or audit rows for DevSkiller sit on a domain separate from the vendor's own site.
Provenance
The scores above are documented by 33 evidence rows on file for these two vendors: 15 for DevSkiller, across 2 distinct source domains, and 18 for XOR, across 1 distinct source domain.
