§ The result
3 points separate Qureos and XOR.
Qureos holds a 3-point edge over XOR under rubric v1.0, 33 to 30, with both scored in the Screening cohort. XOR takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Bias Audit Transparency among them, against 5 for Qureos, whose share includes Human Oversight Design, and 1 is level. Human Oversight Design is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Qureos 54, XOR 40 — and at a 12% weight it carries 41% of the weighted advantage Qureos holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
Qureos
Qureos is a Dubai-based AI recruiting platform whose Iris agents source candidates, score and rank applicants against recruiter-set criteria, and run AI voice and video interviews with personality scoring, alongside an ATS and a job-seeker marketplace focused on MENA and South Asia.

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
Qureos and XOR are both filed under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, NYC LL 144, Colorado AI Act and Illinois HB 3773. Only Qureos is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +3.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +3 beside that +3.1.

§ 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.
