§ The result
Talkpush leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Talkpush finishes 16 points clear of XOR inside the Screening cohort under rubric v1.0: 46 against 30. Talkpush leads every one of the 7 criteria, XOR none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Talkpush 27 to XOR 25. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Talkpush 52, XOR 20 — and at a 20% weight it carries 41% of the weighted advantage Talkpush holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
Talkpush
Talkpush is a conversational recruitment CRM and applicant tracking system for high-volume hiring that screens candidates over WhatsApp, Messenger, SMS and voice using chatbots, automated workflows (Autoflow), an AI English-proficiency assessment (TalkScore) and an outbound AI voice agent.

§ The record
Talkpush and XOR are both filed under Screening AI. They also share 1 secondary category: Scheduling.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, NYC LL 144, Colorado AI Act and Illinois HB 3773. Only Talkpush is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +15.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +16 beside that +15.8.
§ Category-by-category
Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is Talkpush 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.
