§ The result
Testlify leads Zoho Recruit on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Testlify (Assessment) edges Zoho Recruit (ATS-integrated) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 45 to 42. Testlify leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Zoho Recruit is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 Testlify leads is Post-Market Monitoring, Testlify 42 to Zoho Recruit 40. The advantage Testlify holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Testlify 52, Zoho Recruit 45, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 37% of the weighted points Testlify gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +3.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +3 beside that +3.8.
