Spark Hire leads Wonderlic on all 7 criteria.
Spark Hire sits 10 points above Wonderlic under rubric v1.0 — 53 against 43 — with Spark Hire filed under Video interview and Wonderlic under Assessment. Spark Hire leads every one of the 7 criteria, Wonderlic none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Spark Hire 30 to Wonderlic 25. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Spark Hire 60, Wonderlic 38, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage Spark Hire holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +10.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +10 beside that +10.3.
