What DHI Group does

DHI Group, Inc. (NYSE: DHX) is a publicly traded provider of AI-powered career marketplaces and software services headquartered in New York with operational hubs in Centennial, Colorado and West Des Moines, Iowa. The company operates two core brands: Dice, a tech career marketplace with 7.5 million registered members in the United States serving technology professionals and the recruiters and employers who hire them; and ClearanceJobs, a database and marketplace for professionals holding active U.S. government security clearances, with over 2 million registered candidates serving defense contractors and federal agencies. Underlying technology includes proprietary machine-learning matching models trained on more than 30 years of structured candidate and job data, a redesigned employer platform featuring AI-driven search tools such as the AI Boolean enhancer, and a Dice Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows third-party AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude) to query the job database via natural language. Technical infrastructure is hosted on Amazon Web Services, and the company maintains SOC 2 Type 2 certification with annual TrustArc privacy audits.

DHI generates revenue primarily through annual subscription recruitment packages sold to employers and recruiters on the Dice and ClearanceJobs platforms, with packages bundling job postings, candidate search, and database access at varying tiers; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. A secondary professional services revenue stream was added in February 2026 through the $5.5 million acquisition of Point Solutions Group, which holds a Top Secret facility clearance and enables the company to bid directly on federal staffing contracts, contributing an expected approximately $6 million in FY2026 revenue. The company also markets self-serve directly through the Dice.com and ClearanceJobs.com web properties, with distribution supplemented by investor relations activity, press releases, and the Dice MCP server integration, which positions the platform within AI-assistant-mediated job search workflows. FY2025 reported revenue was $127.8 million (down 10% YoY), with ClearanceJobs growing at a 12% CAGR and Dice declining at a 4% CAGR.

Direct peers

• Indeed: Indeed (owned by Recruit Holdings) is a global horizontal job marketplace that directly competes with Dice for tech-recruiter spend and candidate traffic. Indeed's AI-driven matching and broad coverage across roles make it the closest direct competitor on the employer side of DHI's marketplace.
• ZipRecruiter: ZipRecruiter operates an AI-powered job marketplace connecting employers with job seekers, including a strong focus on tech roles. Its subscription-based model and SMB employer focus directly mirror Dice's GTM motion and customer base.
• CareerBuilder: CareerBuilder is a long-standing online job marketplace and talent-acquisition platform serving employers and job seekers across industries including technology. It overlaps with Dice on subscription-based employer packages and AI-driven candidate matching.
• TEKsystems (Allegis Group): TEKsystems is a leading IT staffing and talent services provider within Allegis Group, placing technology professionals across contract, contract-to-hire, and direct-hire engagements. It directly competes with DHI's tech-recruitment focus on enterprise clients and large-scale hiring programs.
• Monster (formerly Monster Worldwide): Monster is a legacy online job board that historically competed head-to-head with Dice in the technology-recruitment vertical. While it now operates under new ownership, it remains a horizontal job marketplace with continuing overlap in tech-roles placements.

Broad incumbents

• Kelly Services: Kelly Services is a global staffing provider with dedicated technology, science, and engineering practice areas. Its subscription and contract-staffing model for technical talent places it as a broad incumbent competing for the same employer-recruitment budgets as Dice.
• Robert Half International: Robert Half is a large professional staffing firm with a dedicated technology practice (Robert Half Technology) that places IT and tech professionals. It competes with Dice on the employer-recruitment side but adds direct placement and contract staffing services rather than operating a pure marketplace.
• ManpowerGroup: ManpowerGroup is one of the world's largest staffing and workforce-solutions companies, operating across IT, engineering, finance, and other professional categories. It competes with DHI in IT staffing at enterprise scale and represents a comparable professional-and-technical staffing business model.
• LinkedIn (Microsoft): LinkedIn is the dominant professional network and recruiting platform, serving the same tech-talent marketplace that Dice addresses but as part of a much broader social-networking and sales-product suite under Microsoft. Its scale, free-tier distribution, and integrated hiring tools make it DHI's largest competitive threat in commercial tech recruiting.

Emerging players

• Insight Global: Insight Global is a privately held staffing and talent-solutions firm with significant focus on IT and technology placements. It competes with DHI on tech-recruiting delivery, particularly for enterprise and government contractor clients, and has been expanding AI capabilities in candidate matching.
