§ The result
Dover takes the total, Recruitly takes more of the criteria.
Dover (Sourcing) edges Recruitly (ATS-integrated) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 45 to 41. Recruitly leads more of the criteria than Dover — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Dover leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Dover. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Dover 52, Recruitly 15) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 88% of the weighted advantage Dover holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Shares are of 10.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +4.3.

§ 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.
