§ The result
Workday Recruiting AI leads HiredScore on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Workday Recruiting AI (ATS-integrated) edges HiredScore (Sourcing) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 56 to 52. Workday Recruiting AI leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so HiredScore is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 Workday Recruiting AI leads is Article 11 Technical Documentation, HiredScore 65 to Workday Recruiting AI 70. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HiredScore 65, Workday Recruiting AI 70, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 27% of the weighted advantage Workday Recruiting AI holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -3.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.6 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 -3.6.
