DHI Group Revenue Rises 0.4% in Third Quarter
Revenue beat company guidance and analyst estimates as ClearanceJobs growth offset a decline at Dice.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Job Search
DHI Group reported third-quarter revenue of $32.2 million, up 0.4% year over year. ClearanceJobs revenue rose 18.4% to $16.5 million while Dice revenue fell 13.5% to $15.7 million.
Why it matters
The results exceeded both company guidance and analysts' average estimate of $31.3 million, signaling that the ClearanceJobs business is offsetting weakness in the Dice job board. The divergence between the two platforms shows how demand for security-clearance and IT roles is developing differently in the U.S. job market.
DHI Group's third-quarter revenue of $32.2 million beat analysts' average estimate of $31.3 million, with ClearanceJobs revenue up 18.4% to $16.5 million. Dice revenue fell 13.5% to $15.7 million, and the reasons for the Dice decline are not detailed in the reported results.
The players
DHI Group
DHI Group is a digital career platform company that operates the Dice and ClearanceJobs job boards.
ClearanceJobs
ClearanceJobs is a job board serving professionals who hold U.S. government security clearances.
Dice
Dice is a technology-focused job board owned by DHI Group.
The details
ClearanceJobs includes a jobs board for professionals with government security clearances. Dice bookings declines narrowed for the second consecutive quarter, though the platform's revenue still fell year over year. DHI Group shares were down 3% to $4.45 as of 9:52 a.m. Eastern time on November 5.
Timeline
Third quarter 2026: DHI Group reported revenue of $32.2 million.
November 5, 2026: DHI shares fell 3% to $4.45 intraday.
Fourth quarter 2026: DHI forecast revenue of $31 million to $33 million.
Full-year 2026: DHI estimated revenue of $124 million to $126 million.
Market Landscape
The results show DHI's ClearanceJobs platform gaining ground while its broader Dice board continues to shrink in revenue terms. This split positions DHI's niche security-clearance job board as the faster-growing part of its portfolio against a weaker general technology job market.
For job seekers with security clearances, the strong ClearanceJobs growth suggests continued demand for cleared roles and more listings on that platform. Candidates focused on general technology roles may find fewer opportunities on Dice, given its revenue decline.
The takeaway
The split performance between ClearanceJobs and Dice shows that niche, credential-based job boards can grow even as broader technology job platforms struggle. Job seekers may benefit from comparing where demand is strongest in their specific field.
What happens next
DHI Group's fourth-quarter 2026 revenue guidance of $31 million to $33 million will be measured against actual results when the company reports them.
