§ The result
Workable leads XOR on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Workable finishes 18 points clear of XOR under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 30 — across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. Workable leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so XOR is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Workable leads is Customer Documentation, Workable 56 to XOR 48. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Workable 55, XOR 20, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Workable holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
Workable
Workable is an all-in-one applicant tracking system and HR platform whose AI feature layer (Workable AI / Workable Agent) sources, screens, scores, and matches candidates and drafts recruiting content within the recruiting workflow.
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
Workable is filed under ATS-integrated AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, NYC LL 144, Colorado AI Act and Illinois HB 3773.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +18.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +18 beside that +18.1.

§ 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.

Workable has 17 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 12 with a source URL, 6 documented absences; XOR has 18 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 11 with a source URL, 7 documented absences; some documentation or audit rows for Workable sit on a domain separate from the vendor's own site.
Provenance
The scores above are documented by 35 evidence rows on file for these two vendors: 17 for Workable, across 3 distinct source domains, and 18 for XOR, across 1 distinct source domain.
