§ The result
SmartRecruiters leads Prevue HR on all 7 criteria.
SmartRecruiters finishes 18 points clear of Prevue HR under rubric v1.0 — 62 (D) against 44 (F) — across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. SmartRecruiters leads every one of the 7 criteria, Prevue HR none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Customer Documentation, Prevue HR 58 to SmartRecruiters 63. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Prevue HR 44, SmartRecruiters 78, 18% weight), is only 34% of the weighted advantage SmartRecruiters builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Shares are of 18.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -18 beside that -18.2.

§ 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.
