§ The result
Pin leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Pin, filed under Sourcing, comes out 10 points above XOR, filed under Screening: 40 against 30 under rubric v1.0. Pin takes all 7 criteria from XOR without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is FRIA Support, Pin 30 to XOR 25. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Pin 35, XOR 18, 18% weight), is only 30% of the weighted advantage Pin builds across the 7 criteria it leads.
Vendor profile
Pin
Pin is an AI recruiting agent that searches a database of 850M+ candidate profiles, scores and ranks candidates for fit, can automatically screen out non-matches (each with a one-line reason), and runs outreach and interview scheduling.
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
Pin is filed under Candidate sourcing AI, XOR under Screening AI. They also share 1 secondary category: Scheduling.
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 +10.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +10 beside that +10.2.

Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is Pin 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.
