§ The result
Stepstone leads Turing on all 7 criteria.
Stepstone, filed under Screening, comes out 13 points above Turing, filed under Assessment: 49 against 36 under rubric v1.0. Of the 7 criteria Turing wins none, and the narrowest lead Stepstone holds is on FRIA Support, Stepstone 30 to Turing 25. The advantage Stepstone holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Stepstone 50, Turing 28, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 31% of the weighted points Stepstone gains across the 7 criteria it leads.
Vendor profile
Stepstone
Stepstone is a German job marketplace whose Stepstone Recruit employer platform includes an AI Screening Agent, which rates each application against requirements taken from the job ad, and a Talent Finder, which recommends candidates from a CV database of more than 4 million profiles.
Vendor profile
Turing
Turing is an AI-powered talent platform that vets software engineers through automated multi-stage technical assessments and uses machine-learned ranking to score, match, and place them with client companies.
§ The record
Stepstone is filed under Screening AI, Turing under Assessment AI. They also share 1 secondary category: Sourcing.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, NYC LL 144, Colorado AI Act and Illinois HB 3773. Only Turing is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +12.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +13 beside that +12.6.

§ 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.
