§ The result
Recruitly leads XOR by 11 points.
Recruitly, filed under ATS-integrated, comes out 11 points above XOR, filed under Screening: 41 against 30 under rubric v1.0. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of Recruitly: Recruitly is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and XOR on Bias Audit Transparency. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Recruitly 45, XOR 20 — and at a 20% weight it carries 43% of the weighted advantage Recruitly holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +11.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +11 beside that +11.1.

§ 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.
