§ The result
hireEZ leads XOR on 6 of the 7 criteria.
hireEZ sits 12 points above XOR under rubric v1.0 — 42 against 30 — with hireEZ filed under Sourcing and XOR under Screening. hireEZ leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so XOR is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 hireEZ leads is Post-Market Monitoring, hireEZ 38 to XOR 33. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (hireEZ 38, XOR 20, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage hireEZ holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +12.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +12 beside that +12.0.

§ 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.
