§ The result
Employment Hero leads Dice on all 7 criteria.
Employment Hero, filed under Screening, comes out 12 points above Dice, filed under Sourcing: 48 against 36 under rubric v1.0. Employment Hero takes all 7 criteria from Dice without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is FRIA Support, Dice 25 to Employment Hero 32. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Dice 32, Employment Hero 50, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 31% of the weighted advantage Employment Hero 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 -11.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.7 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 -11.7.

§ 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.
