Dice vs micro1
Dice
Dice is a US job marketplace and resume database for tech roles, run by DHI Group, whose employer tools use a proprietary skills knowledge graph and machine learning (IntelliSearch) to match, score and rank sourced candidates and applicants against job postings.
Substantial gaps
Sourcing
micro1
Zara, micro1's LLM-based AI interviewer, runs recorded, adaptive spoken interviews (with optional coding exercises and automated proctoring) and returns per-skill proficiency ratings, soft-skill ratings and a proctoring score; micro1 uses it to certify experts for its own AI-training talent network, and employers can use it through a client portal and API.
Substantial gaps
Screening
The result
Dice and micro1 tie at 36.
Dice, filed under Sourcing, and micro1, filed under Screening, tie at 36 under rubric v1.0 by different routes through the criteria. Dice leads 5 of the 7 criteria and micro1 1, with 1 level, yet the two totals land on the same number. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Dice 32, micro1 50 — and at a 20% weight it carries 100% of the weighted advantage micro1 holds across the 1 criterion on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +0.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads 0 beside that +0.2.

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.
