§ The result
3 points separate Entelo and XOR.
Entelo (Sourcing) edges XOR (Screening) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 33 to 30. Entelo leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while XOR leads 1, including Customer Documentation, and 1 is level. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Entelo 30, XOR 20 — and at a 20% weight it carries 61% of the weighted advantage Entelo holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
Entelo
Entelo is an AI-powered talent sourcing and diversity-recruiting platform that aggregates hundreds of millions of public candidate profiles and applies predictive machine-learning models to score, rank, and surface (including underrepresented) candidates for recruiters.
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
Entelo is filed under Candidate sourcing AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, Colorado AI Act, NYC LL 144 and Illinois HB 3773.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +2.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +3 beside that +2.6.
§ Category-by-category
Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is Entelo minus XOR.
| Category | Weight | Entelo | XOR | Δ raw | Δ weighted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Article 11 Technical Documentation | 20% | 30 | 20 | +10 | +2.0 |
| Bias Audit Transparency | 18% | 20 | 18 | +2 | +0.4 |
| FRIA Support | 15% | 25 | 25 | - | - |
| Data Governance Disclosure | 15% | 45 | 42 | +3 | +0.4 |
| Human Oversight Design | 12% | 42 | 40 | +2 | +0.2 |
| Post-Market Monitoring | 12% | 35 | 33 | +2 | +0.2 |
| Customer Documentation | 8% | 40 | 48 | -8 | -0.6 |
| Total | 100% | 33 (F) | 30 (F) | +3 | +2.6 |
§ 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.

Entelo has 16 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 9 with a source URL, 8 documented absences; XOR has 18 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 11 with a source URL, 7 documented absences.
