hackajob vs XOR
hackajob
Archer, hackajob's AI sourcing agent, is calibrated by a recruiter on a hiring brief, then finds, engages and qualifies passive candidates from a 1.5m-member pool and 800m+ indexed profiles and invites those who meet the bar to apply through the employer's existing ATS.

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 result
hackajob leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, hackajob (Sourcing) opens a 15-point lead on XOR (Screening), 45 to 30. Of the 7 criteria XOR wins none, and the narrowest lead hackajob holds is on Bias Audit Transparency, hackajob 20 to XOR 18. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — hackajob 60, XOR 20 — and at a 20% weight it carries 53% of the weighted advantage hackajob holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +15.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +15 beside that +15.2.

Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is hackajob minus XOR, coloured for whichever of the two it favours.

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.
