§ The result
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting leads SeekOut on 6 of the 7 criteria.
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting finishes 19 points clear of SeekOut under rubric v1.0 — 53 against 34 — across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so SeekOut is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting leads is FRIA Support, SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting 35 to SeekOut 25. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting 70, SeekOut 35, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.
