§ The result
hireEZ leads Keka by 5 points.
hireEZ scores 42 and Keka 37 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. The 7 criteria split 5 to 2 in favour of hireEZ: hireEZ is ahead on Bias Audit Transparency and Keka on FRIA Support. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (hireEZ 30, Keka 20, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage hireEZ holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +5.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +5.1.

§ Evidence
Cited sources and documented absences, criterion by criterion.
