§ The result
4 points separate SEEK and Indeed.
SEEK (Screening) edges Indeed (Sourcing) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 54 to 50. The 7 criteria split 4 to 2 in favour of SEEK, with 1 level: SEEK is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and Indeed on FRIA Support. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Indeed 58, SEEK 70) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 56% of the weighted advantage SEEK holds across the 4 criteria it leads.
Vendor profile
Indeed
Job marketplace whose employer-side AI (the Talent Scout agent, Sourcing Assistant, Smart Screening and candidate matching) sources, ranks and scores candidates from Indeed's profile pool and applicant flow and drafts outreach to them.
Vendor profile
SEEK
SEEK runs employment marketplaces in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia (SEEK, Jobstreet and Jobsdb), and its seekAi employer tools label and rank applicants as 'high-fit' using a model trained on millions of past hirer shortlisting decisions, target job ads at predicted high-fit candidates, and run AI voice or text pre-screens, recommended shortlists and reference checks through a feature called Assist.
§ The record
Indeed is filed under Candidate sourcing AI, SEEK under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, Colorado AI Act, NYC LL 144 and Illinois HB 3773.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -3.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -4 beside that -3.2.

Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.

§ 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.
