Both filed under ATS-integrated, Paycom and Recruit CRM come out 50 and 40 under rubric v1.0, 10 points in favour of Paycom.

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.
