The general flow would be something like this:

$jobs = @()
$jobs += Start-Job -scriptblock {...}
...
$jobs += Start-Job -scriptblock {...}
Wait-Job $jobs
$results = Receive-Job $jobs

You can use a job name as an alternative to storing the job instance returned by Start-Job e.g.:

$jobName = 'CompareControl'
foreach ($script in $scripts)
{
    Start-Job -Name $jobName-scriptblock {&$script} -ArgumentList ...
}
Wait-Job -Name $jobName
$results = Receive-Job -Name $jobName
