§ The result
HiredScore leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
HiredScore finishes 22 points clear of XOR under rubric v1.0 — 52 against 30 — across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. HiredScore leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; XOR leads none. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HiredScore 65, XOR 20 — and at a 20% weight it carries 41% of the weighted advantage HiredScore holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
HiredScore
AI-driven talent orchestration layer that ranks and routes candidates within an existing ATS. Acquired by Workday in 2024.
Vendor profile
XOR
XOR is a text-first conversational-AI recruiting platform that pre-screens and scores high-volume and hourly candidates with recruiter-defined knockout/scoring questions over SMS, WhatsApp, and Messenger, then auto-schedules interviews on the recruiter's calendar.
§ The record
HiredScore is filed under Candidate sourcing AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, Colorado AI Act and NYC LL 144. Only XOR is in scope of Illinois HB 3773.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +22.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 22.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +22 beside that +22.0.
§ Category-by-category
Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is HiredScore minus XOR.

§ 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.

HiredScore has 9 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 7 with a source URL, 2 documented absences; XOR has 18 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 11 with a source URL, 7 documented absences; some documentation or audit rows for HiredScore sit on a domain separate from the vendor's own site.
Provenance
The scores above are documented by 27 evidence rows on file for these two vendors: 9 for HiredScore, across 1 distinct source domain, and 18 for XOR, across 1 distinct source domain.
