§ The result
JobAdder leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, JobAdder (ATS-integrated) opens a 15-point lead on XOR (Screening), 45 to 30. JobAdder takes all 7 criteria and XOR none of them; the nearest contest is FRIA Support, JobAdder 30 to XOR 25. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (JobAdder 50, XOR 20, 20% weight), is only 38% of the weighted advantage JobAdder builds across the 7 criteria it leads.
Vendor profile
JobAdder
JobAdder is a Sydney-based ATS and CRM for recruitment agencies and in-house teams whose Adder Intelligence layer, launched in November 2025 on LLMs hosted in Amazon Bedrock, gives every applicant an AI summary and relevancy rating and also drafts client-ready candidate overviews (Smart Floats), suggests skill codes, proposes record updates and writes job ads, alongside database skill matching.
Vendor profile
XOR
XOR is a text-first conversational-AI recruiting platform that pre-screens and scores high-volume and hourly candidates with recruiter-defined knockout/scoring questions over SMS, WhatsApp, and Messenger, then auto-schedules interviews on the recruiter's calendar.
§ The record
JobAdder is filed under ATS-integrated AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, NYC LL 144, Colorado AI Act and Illinois HB 3773.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +15.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +15 beside that +15.6.
§ Category-by-category
Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is JobAdder minus XOR.

§ 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.

JobAdder has 29 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 24 with a source URL, 5 documented absences; XOR has 18 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 11 with a source URL, 7 documented absences; some documentation or audit rows for JobAdder sit on a domain separate from the vendor's own site.
Provenance
The scores above are documented by 47 evidence rows on file for these two vendors: 29 for JobAdder, across 3 distinct source domains, and 18 for XOR, across 1 distinct source domain.
