§ The result
Korn Ferry takes the total, hireEZ takes more of the criteria.
Korn Ferry (Assessment) edges hireEZ (Sourcing) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 46 to 42. hireEZ leads more of the criteria than Korn Ferry — 4 to 2 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which Korn Ferry leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Korn Ferry. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — hireEZ 38, Korn Ferry 58 — and at a 20% weight it carries 55% of the weighted advantage Korn Ferry holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.
