§ The result
LinkedIn Recruiter leads Korn Ferry on all 7 criteria.
LinkedIn Recruiter sits 11 points above Korn Ferry under rubric v1.0 — 57 against 46 — with LinkedIn Recruiter filed under Sourcing and Korn Ferry under Assessment. LinkedIn Recruiter is ahead of Korn Ferry on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Bias Audit Transparency at Korn Ferry 48 to LinkedIn Recruiter 50. Post-Market Monitoring is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Korn Ferry 33, LinkedIn Recruiter 50, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 19% of the weighted advantage LinkedIn Recruiter holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 10.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -11 beside that -10.6.

§ 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.
