§ The result
HiredScore leads Recruiterflow on 6 of the 7 criteria.
HiredScore finishes 16 points clear of Recruiterflow under rubric v1.0 — 52 against 36 — across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. HiredScore leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Recruiterflow is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 HiredScore leads is Human Oversight Design, HiredScore 60 to Recruiterflow 58. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (HiredScore 55, Recruiterflow 18) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 43% of the weighted advantage HiredScore holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +15.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +16 beside that +15.5.

§ 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.
