§ The result
HackerEarth leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
HackerEarth finishes 16 points clear of XOR under rubric v1.0 — 46 against 30 — across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. HackerEarth leads every one of the 7 criteria, XOR none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, HackerEarth 32 to XOR 25. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (HackerEarth 55, XOR 20) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 43% of the weighted advantage HackerEarth holds across the 7 criteria it leads.
Vendor profile
HackerEarth
HackerEarth is a technical-hiring platform that auto-scores coding assessments under AI proctoring, runs FaceCode live coding interviews with AI-generated summaries, and offers OnScreen, an AI video-avatar interviewer that scores candidates against a fixed rubric.
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
HackerEarth is filed under Assessment AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of NYC LL 144, Illinois HB 3773, EU AI Act and Colorado AI Act. Only HackerEarth is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +16.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +16 beside that +16.3.

§ 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.
