§ The result
RecruitBot leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, RecruitBot, filed under Sourcing, finishes on 37 and XOR, filed under Screening, on 30, 7 points apart. RecruitBot takes all 7 criteria from XOR without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is FRIA Support, RecruitBot 27 to XOR 25. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (RecruitBot 33, XOR 20, 20% weight), is only 37% of the weighted advantage RecruitBot builds across the 7 criteria it leads.
Vendor profile
RecruitBot
RecruitBot is an AI sourcing platform that searches a proprietary database of 655M+ candidate profiles, re-ranks results with machine learning trained on each recruiter's star ratings, and automates personalized email outreach.
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
RecruitBot is filed under Candidate sourcing AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, Colorado AI Act and NYC LL 144. Only XOR is in scope of Illinois HB 3773.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +7.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +7 beside that +7.1.
§ Category-by-category
Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is RecruitBot 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.
