§ The result
SEEK leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
SEEK finishes 24 points clear of XOR inside the Screening cohort under rubric v1.0: 54 against 30. SEEK leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; XOR leads none. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (SEEK 70, XOR 20) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 42% of the weighted advantage SEEK holds across the 7 criteria it leads.
Vendor profile
SEEK
SEEK runs employment marketplaces in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia (SEEK, Jobstreet and Jobsdb), and its seekAi employer tools label and rank applicants as 'high-fit' using a model trained on millions of past hirer shortlisting decisions, target job ads at predicted high-fit candidates, and run AI voice or text pre-screens, recommended shortlists and reference checks through a feature called Assist.
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
SEEK 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.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +23.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 23.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +24 beside that +23.7.
§ Category-by-category
Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is SEEK 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.

SEEK has 30 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 23 with a source URL, 7 documented absences; XOR has 18 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 11 with a source URL, 7 documented absences; some documentation or audit rows for SEEK sit on a domain separate from the vendor's own site.
Provenance
The scores above are documented by 48 evidence rows on file for these two vendors: 30 for SEEK, across 3 distinct source domains, and 18 for XOR, across 1 distinct source domain.
