§ The result
2 points separate hireEZ and Recruit CRM.
hireEZ holds a 2-point edge over Recruit CRM under rubric v1.0, 42 to 40, across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. The criteria split evenly, 3 each to hireEZ and Recruit CRM, with 1 level, and the weighted points on the side hireEZ holds, headed by Bias Audit Transparency, settle the total. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — hireEZ 30, Recruit CRM 20 — and at an 18% weight it carries 51% of the weighted advantage hireEZ holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +1.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +1.5.

§ 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.
