PageUp
PageUp is an enterprise talent acquisition suite (ATS, recruitment marketing/CRM, onboarding, learning and performance). Its AI Skills Matching sorts each applicant's resume against skills taken from the job ad into five bands, from Excellent Match to Not a Match, and recruiters reach those results through Paige, its conversational assistant.

ATS-integrated
The result
PageUp leads HackerRank on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, PageUp, filed under ATS-integrated, finishes on 64 (D) and HackerRank, filed under Assessment, on 55 (F), 9 points apart. PageUp takes all 7 criteria from HackerRank without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Customer Documentation, HackerRank 62 to PageUp 63. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HackerRank 60, PageUp 74, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage PageUp 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 -8.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -8.7.

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.
