§ The result
LinkedIn Recruiter leads Gloat on all 7 criteria.
Both filed under Sourcing, LinkedIn Recruiter and Gloat come out 57 and 47 under rubric v1.0, 10 points in favour of LinkedIn Recruiter. LinkedIn Recruiter is ahead of Gloat on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Data Governance Disclosure at Gloat 58 to LinkedIn Recruiter 62. The advantage LinkedIn Recruiter holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Gloat 48, LinkedIn Recruiter 67, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 38% of the weighted points LinkedIn Recruiter gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -10.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -10 beside that -10.0.
