§ The result
LinkedIn Recruiter leads hireEZ on all 7 criteria.
LinkedIn Recruiter finishes 15 points clear of hireEZ inside the Sourcing cohort under rubric v1.0: 57 against 42. LinkedIn Recruiter takes all 7 criteria and hireEZ none of them; the nearest contest is Data Governance Disclosure, hireEZ 60 to LinkedIn Recruiter 62. The advantage LinkedIn Recruiter holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (hireEZ 38, LinkedIn Recruiter 67, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points LinkedIn Recruiter gains across the 7 criteria it leads.
