§ The result
HiBob leads Recruit CRM on 6 of the 7 criteria.
HiBob scores 46 and Recruit CRM 40 under rubric v1.0 — a 6-point gap inside the ATS-integrated cohort. HiBob leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Recruit CRM is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 HiBob leads is FRIA Support, HiBob 35 to Recruit CRM 34. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (HiBob 55, Recruit CRM 34) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 69% of the weighted advantage HiBob holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +6.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.1.

§ 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.
