Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DHI Group, Inc. (“DHI” or the “Company”) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted and condensed pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year. Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates during the three month period ended March 31, 2017 .

SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Notes)	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The new standard outlines the principles an entity must apply to measure and recognize revenue and the related cash flows it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The updated standard becomes effective for reporting periods (interim and annual) beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the change recognized at the date of the initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its various revenue streams and consolidated financial statements and will disclose the impact in connection with the Company’s third quarter 2017 results. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The Company adopted the standard during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The new standard requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, rather than in additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, the new standard eliminates the requirement to reclassify excess tax benefits from operating activities to financing activities in the statement of cash flows. Additionally, the Company can now make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. Amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement were applied prospectively. The tax effect of awards vested resulted in income tax expense of $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company recast prior year cash flows to reflect the excess tax benefit as an operating activity, resulting in a reclassification of $0.3 million from “Excess tax benefit over book expense from stock based compensation” to “Income taxes receivable/payable” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company will record forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating in advance. On January 1, 2017, under the modified retrospective transition method as required by the standard, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $ 0.3 million to decrease accumulated earnings and increase additional paid-in capital to remove estimated forfeitures on all outstanding equity awards after December 31, 2016. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases . The new standard has requirements on how to account for leases by both the lessee and the lessor and adds clarification for what constitutes a lease, among other items. The updated standard becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods the following year, with early adoption permitted. The new standard must be applied using a modified retrospective transition. The Company is determining the expected impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other . The new standard eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and now requires the Company to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The Company should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The FASB ASC topic on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. As a basis for considering assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is used, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: • Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. • Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and long-term debt approximate their fair values. The fair value of the long-term debt was estimated using present value techniques and market based interest rates and credit spreads. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on Level 2 inputs.

Indebtedness	INDEBTEDNESS Credit Agreement —In November 2015, the Company, together with Dice Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dice Career Solutions, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a revolving loan facility of $250.0 million maturing in November 2020. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a LIBOR rate or a base rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% on LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.50% on base rate loans, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio. The facility may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The Credit Agreement contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and also contains certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. Negative covenants include restrictions on incurring certain liens; making certain payments, such as stock repurchases and dividend payments; making certain investments; making certain acquisitions; and incurring additional indebtedness. Restricted payments are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less than 2.0 to 1.0, plus an additional $5.0 million of restricted payments. The Credit Agreement also provides that the payment of obligations may be accelerated upon the occurrence of customary events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment, change of control, or insolvency. As of March 31, 2017 , the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by four of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, eFinancialCareers, Inc., Targeted Job Fairs, Inc., Rigzone.com, Inc. and onTargetjobs, Inc., and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and the guarantors and stock pledges from certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Debt issuance costs of $646,000 were incurred and are being amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement. These costs are included in interest expense. Unamortized deferred financing costs from the previous credit facility of $973,000 are being amortized over the life of the new Credit Agreement. The amounts borrowed as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows (dollars in thousands): March 31, December 31, Amounts borrowed: Revolving credit facility $ 78,000 $ 86,000 Less: deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization of $1,568 and $1,487 (1,159 ) (1,240 ) Total borrowed $ 76,841 $ 84,760 Available to be borrowed under revolving facility $ 172,000 $ 164,000 Interest rates: LIBOR rate loans: Interest margin 2.00 % 2.00 % Actual interest rates 3.00 % 2.81 % There are no scheduled payments until maturity of the Credit Agreement in November 2020.

Litigation The Company is subject to various claims from taxing authorities, lawsuits and other complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records provisions for losses when claims become probable and the amounts are reasonably estimable. Although the outcome of these legal matters cannot be determined, it is the opinion of management that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operations or liquidity. Tax Contingencies The Company operates in a number of tax jurisdictions and is routinely subject to examinations by various tax authorities with respect to income taxes and indirect taxes. The determination of the Company’s worldwide provision for taxes requires judgment and estimation. The Company has reserved for potential examination adjustments to our provision for income taxes and accrual of indirect taxes in amounts which the Company believes are reasonable.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION	3 Months Ended

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock Based Compensation	STOCK BASED COMPENSATION Under the 2012 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, the Company has granted stock options, restricted stock and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) to certain employees and directors. On January 1, 2017, as a result of ASU No. 2016-09 as discussed in Note 2, the Company recorded expense based upon the number of awards outstanding with no estimate for forfeitures. Previously, the Company estimated forfeitures that it expected would occur and recorded expense based upon the number of awards expected to vest. The Company recorded total stock based compensation expense of $2.5 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2017 and $3.6 million of compensation expense, which included $0.9 million of accelerated compensation due to Slashdot Media as shown in Note 9, during the three month period ended March 31, 2016 . At March 31, 2017 , there was $18.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years. Restricted Stock— Restricted stock is granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and to non-employee members of the Company’s Board. These shares are part of the compensation plan for services provided by the employees or Board members. The closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant is used to determine the fair value of the grants. The expense related to the restricted stock grants is recorded over the vesting period. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants. The restricted stock vests in various increments on the anniversaries of each grant, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date. Vesting occurs over one year for Board members and over four years for employees. A summary of the status of restricted stock awards as of March 31, 2017 and 2016 and the changes during the periods then ended is presented below: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Grant Date Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Grant Date Non-vested at beginning of the period 2,226,375 $ 7.87 2,122,225 $ 8.54 Granted 986,000 $ 5.00 1,033,500 $ 7.56 Forfeited (41,125 ) $ 7.89 (119,875 ) $ 8.36 Vested (622,625 ) $ 8.20 (655,875 ) $ 8.53 Non-vested at end of period 2,548,625 $ 6.68 2,379,975 $ 8.13 PSUs— PSUs are granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. These shares are part of the compensation plan for services provided by the employees. The expense related to the PSUs is recorded over the vesting period. These shares will vest on the dates the Compensation Committee certifies the Company’s achievement of stock price performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index, provided that the recipient remains employed through such date. Performance will be measured over three separate measurement periods: a one-year measurement period, a two-year measurement period and a three-year measurement period. For performance periods one and two, vesting is not to exceed total grant divided by three. For performance period three, vesting is no less than zero and no greater than 150% of initial grant less shares vested in performance periods one and two.

This valuation model requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected life (the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of the Company’s common stock, a risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The expected life of options granted is derived from historical exercise behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of grant. The stock options vest 25% after one year, beginning on the first anniversary date of the grant, and 6.25% each quarter following the first anniversary. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants. No stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 .

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has three reportable segments: Tech & Clearance, Global Industry Group and Healthcare. The Tech & Clearance reportable segment includes the Dice, Dice Europe and ClearanceJobs services. The Global Industry Group reportable segment includes the eFinancialCareers, Rigzone, Hcareers and BioSpace services. The Healthcare reportable segment includes the Health eCareers service. Management has organized its reportable segments based upon our internal management reporting. The Company has other services and activities that individually are not more than 10% of consolidated revenues, operating income or total assets. These include Slashdot Media (business sold in the first quarter of 2016) and Brightmatter, which are reported in the “Corporate & Other” category, along with corporate-related costs which are not considered in a segment. The Company’s Open Web technology, which is in the WorkDigital reporting unit, resides in Brightmatter, which is included in the Corporate and Other category. Open Web is sold within the Tech & Clearance and Global Industry Group reportable segments. However, management does not allocate that revenue nor a royalty to Brightmatter in its internal reporting and management of the business. Accordingly, there is no internal allocation included in our segment reporting. The Company’s foreign operations are comprised of the Dice Europe operations and a portion of the eFinancialCareers and Rigzone services, which operate in Europe, the financial centers of the gulf region of the Middle East and Asia Pacific. The Company’s foreign operations also include Hcareers, which operates in Canada, and a portion of Brightmatter, which operates in Europe. Revenue by geographic region, as shown in the table below, is based on the location of each of the Company’s subsidiaries. The following table shows the segment information (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 By Segment: Revenues: Tech & Clearance $ 31,690 $ 34,006 Global Industry Group 13,758 16,554 Healthcare 6,714 6,958 Corporate & Other 28 768 Total revenues $ 52,190 $ 58,286 Depreciation: Tech & Clearance $ 1,456 $ 1,738 Global Industry Group 225 222 Healthcare 508 596 Corporate & Other 119 42 Total depreciation $ 2,308 $ 2,598 Amortization: Tech & Clearance $ — $ 728 Global Industry Group 364 1,471 Healthcare 162 218 Corporate & Other 35 49 Total amortization $ 561 $ 2,466 Operating income (loss): Tech & Clearance $ 11,444 $ 11,833 Global Industry Group 118 646 Healthcare (450 ) (278 ) Corporate & Other (6,817 ) (9,559 ) Operating income 4,295 2,642 Interest expense (790 ) (872 ) Other expense (16 ) (15 ) Income before income taxes $ 3,489 $ 1,755 Capital expenditures: Tech & Clearance $ 2,702 $ 1,576 Global Industry Group 494 355 Healthcare 342 176 Corporate & Other 604 402 Total capital expenditures $ 4,142 $ 2,509 Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 By Geography: Revenues: United States $ 39,051 $ 42,677 United Kingdom 4,735 7,973 EMEA, APAC and Canada (1) 8,404 7,636 Non-United States 13,139 15,609 Total revenues $ 52,190 $ 58,286 (1) Europe (excluding United Kingdom), the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) March 31, December 31, Total assets: Tech & Clearance $ 178,345 $ 179,985 Global Industry Group 100,628 98,821 Healthcare 14,015 14,375 Corporate & Other 17,456 16,914 Total assets $ 310,444 $ 310,095 The following table shows the carrying amount of goodwill by segment as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and the changes in goodwill for the three month period ended (in thousands): Tech & Clearance Global Industry Group Healthcare Corporate & Other Total Goodwill at December 31, 2016 $ 94,038 $ 57,524 $ 6,269 $ 13,914 $ 171,745 Foreign currency translation adjustment $ 85 $ 415 $ — $ 161 $ 661 Goodwill at March 31, 2017 $ 94,123 $ 57,939 $ 6,269 $ 14,075 $ 172,406 On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom (“UK”) held a referendum in which British citizens approved an exit from the EU, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” Brexit could cause disruptions to and create uncertainty surrounding our business, including affecting our relationships with our existing and future customers and employees based in the UK and Europe along with adversely impacting foreign currencies, particularly the British Pound Sterling as compared to the United States dollar. These disruptions and uncertainties could decrease demand for finance and technology professionals in the markets we serve. This decline in demand and any future declines in demand could significantly decrease the use of our finance and technology industry job posting websites and related services, which may adversely affect the related reporting unit’s financial condition and results of operations. If recruitment activity is slow in the industries in which we operate during 2017 and beyond, our revenues and results of operations will be negatively impacted. As a result of these factors, in the first quarter, the Company further evaluated the fair value of the Dice Europe reporting unit and does not believe it is currently at risk of failing the first step of the impairment test. If events and circumstances change resulting in significant reductions in actual operating income or projections of future operating income, the Company will test this reporting unit for impairment prior to the annual impairment test. The fair value of the Finance and Hospitality reporting units was not substantially in excess of the carrying value as of the most recent annual impairment testing date of October 1, 2016. The percentage by which the estimated fair value exceeded carrying value for the Finance and Hospitality reporting units was 27% and 19% , respectively. As a result of the Company’s newly announced tech-focused strategy, continued uncertainty around Brexit for the Finance reporting unit and continued competition in the Hospitality reporting unit, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test of the Finance and Hospitality reporting units as of December 31, 2016. The percentage by which the estimated fair value exceeded carrying value for the Finance and Hospitality reporting units as of December 31, 2016 was 20% and 16% , respectively. As a result of these factors, in the first quarter, the Company further evaluated the fair value of the Finance and Hospitality reporting units and does not believe they are currently at risk of failing the first step of the impairment test. All other reporting units were not at risk of failing step one of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, no interim impairment testing was performed as of March 31, 2017.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus common stock equivalents assuming exercise of stock options, where dilutive. Stock-based awards of approximately 3.0 million and 2.4 million were outstanding during the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, but were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the periods then ended because the effect of the awards is anti-dilutive. The following is a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share and weighted-average shares outstanding (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Net income $ 1,340 $ 1,111 Weighted-average shares outstanding—basic 47,596 49,451 Add shares issuable from stock-based awards 540 1,009 Weighted-average shares outstanding—diluted 48,136 50,460 Basic earnings per share $ 0.03 $ 0.02 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.03 $ 0.02
