§ The result
Vervoe leads XOR by 16 points.
Vervoe finishes 16 points clear of XOR under rubric v1.0 — 46 against 30 — across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Vervoe leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while XOR leads 1, including Post-Market Monitoring, and 1 is level. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Vervoe 52, XOR 18, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage Vervoe holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
Vervoe
AI-powered skills-assessment platform that grades and ranks candidates on performance in role-specific, task-based assessments.
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
Vervoe is filed under Assessment AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of NYC LL 144, Illinois HB 3773, EU AI Act and Colorado AI Act. Only Vervoe is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +15.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.9 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 +15.7.

§ 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.
