§ The result
Indeed leads Recruitee on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Indeed scores 50 and Recruitee 42 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Indeed leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Recruitee is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Indeed leads is Human Oversight Design, Indeed 63 to Recruitee 58. The advantage Indeed holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Indeed 58, Recruitee 42, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points Indeed gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +8.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.3 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 +8.3.

§ 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.
