§ The result
Workday Recruiting AI leads Pillar on all 7 criteria.
Workday Recruiting AI finishes 16 points clear of Pillar under rubric v1.0 — 56 against 40 — across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. Workday Recruiting AI leads every one of the 7 criteria, Pillar none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Post-Market Monitoring, Pillar 33 to Workday Recruiting AI 35. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Pillar 42, Workday Recruiting AI 70, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Workday Recruiting AI holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
