§ The result
HiBob leads Emi on all 7 criteria.
HiBob, filed under ATS-integrated, comes out 13 points above Emi, filed under Screening: 46 against 33 under rubric v1.0. HiBob leads every one of the 7 criteria, Emi none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Bias Audit Transparency, Emi 18 to HiBob 20. The advantage HiBob holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Emi 28, HiBob 55, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points HiBob gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -14.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -13 beside that -14.0.

§ 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.
