Handshake vs Turing
Handshake
Handshake is an early-career recruiting network whose employer tools use AI to rank applicants against employer-set criteria, find and message matching students and graduates, and target job promotions.

Screening
Turing
Turing is an AI-powered talent platform that vets software engineers through automated multi-stage technical assessments and uses machine-learned ranking to score, match, and place them with client companies.

Assessment
The result
Handshake leads Turing on all 7 criteria.
Handshake, filed under Screening, comes out 14 points above Turing, filed under Assessment: 50 against 36 under rubric v1.0. Handshake leads every one of the 7 criteria, Turing none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Handshake 30 to Turing 25. The advantage Handshake holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Handshake 52, Turing 28, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 33% of the weighted points Handshake gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +13.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +14 beside that +13.3.

Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is Handshake minus Turing, 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.
