§ The result
4 points separate Indeed and HiBob.
Indeed (Sourcing) edges HiBob (ATS-integrated) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 50 to 46. The 7 criteria split 5 to 1 in favour of Indeed, with 1 level: Indeed is ahead on Bias Audit Transparency and HiBob on Post-Market Monitoring.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -3.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -4 beside that -3.8.

§ 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.
