Wellfound sits 12 points above Recruit CRM under rubric v1.0 — 52 against 40 — with Wellfound filed under Screening and Recruit CRM under ATS-integrated. Recruit CRM leads more of the criteria than Wellfound — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Wellfound leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Wellfound. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Recruit CRM 20, Wellfound 82) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 77% of the weighted advantage Wellfound holds across the 3 criteria it leads.
