§ The result
Zoho Recruit leads HireQuotient by 8 points.
Under rubric v1.0, Zoho Recruit, filed under ATS-integrated, finishes on 42 and HireQuotient, filed under Sourcing, on 34, 8 points apart. Zoho Recruit leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Data Governance Disclosure, while HireQuotient leads 1, including Human Oversight Design. The advantage Zoho Recruit holds is spread out: Data Governance Disclosure is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (HireQuotient 40, Zoho Recruit 55, 15% weight), yet it supplies only 26% of the weighted points Zoho Recruit gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -7.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -8 beside that -7.7.

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.
