§ The result
LinkedIn Recruiter leads HighMatch on all 7 criteria.
LinkedIn Recruiter sits 14 points above HighMatch under rubric v1.0 — 57 against 43 — with LinkedIn Recruiter filed under Sourcing and HighMatch under Assessment. LinkedIn Recruiter takes all 7 criteria and HighMatch none of them; the nearest contest is Human Oversight Design, HighMatch 60 to LinkedIn Recruiter 66. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HighMatch 45, LinkedIn Recruiter 67, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 33% of the weighted advantage LinkedIn Recruiter 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 -13.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.4 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 -13.4.

§ 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.
