Narrow it down

Each of these lists the Applicant tracking vendors that meet one condition, with the source for each, and appears only where at least 8 of them meet it.

Shared dependencies

9 of 9 Applicant tracking vendors whose subprocessor list we could read name Amazon Web Services on it, that is 100 %.

Of the 9 Applicant tracking vendors whose subprocessor list we could read, these names appear on the most of them. A vendor without a published list cannot be missing from one, so it is not in the denominator.

This is a naming, not a dependency. A name on a subprocessor list means the vendor published it there. Whether anything actually runs on it, how much of it, and what the fallback is, is on none of these pages. What the figure does show is concentration: if three of your four candidates name the same provider, you have one path and not four.
