§ The result
SHL leads HirePro on all 7 criteria.
SHL, filed under Assessment, comes out 13 points above HirePro, filed under Screening: 51 against 38 under rubric v1.0. Of the 7 criteria HirePro wins none, and the narrowest lead SHL holds is on Human Oversight Design, HirePro 55 to SHL 58. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HirePro 30, SHL 60 — and at a 20% weight it carries 48% of the weighted advantage SHL holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -12.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -13 beside that -12.6.

§ 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.
