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, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2020, except as disclosed in Notes 6, 8 and 9 relating to impairments to equity method investments, intangible assets, and goodwill, respectively.

SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Notes)	9 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current "incurred loss" model with an "expected loss" model that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of a financial asset. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for Smaller Reporting Companies. The Company is evaluating the expected impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820), Disclosures Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract . The new standard requires entities that are customers in cloud computing arrangements to defer implementation costs if they would be capitalized by the entity in software licensing arrangements under the internal-use software guidance. ASU No. 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those years. The amendments allow either a retrospective or prospective approach to all implementation costs incurred after adoption. The Company adopted this standard, effective January 1, 2020, under the prospective approach, and capitalized implementation costs are included in other assets on the Company's balance sheet. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating taxes during interim quarters and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes, specifies the timing for recognizing certain income tax effects of changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the expected impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized net of customer discounts ratably over the service period. Customer billings delivered in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the service period. The Company generates revenue from recruitment packages, advertising, classifieds, and virtual and live career fair and recruitment event booth rentals. Disaggregation of revenue Our brands serve various economic professions, such as technology, security cleared, and financial. The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by brand and includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30 Nine Months Ended September 30 2020 2019 2020 2019 Dice $ 19,823 $ 22,915 $ 62,797 $ 69,276 ClearanceJobs 7,326 6,320 21,333 18,116 eFinancialCareers 6,101 7,941 19,537 24,263 Total $ 33,250 $ 37,176 $ 103,667 $ 111,655 Contract Balances The following table provides information about opening and closing balances of receivables and contract liabilities from contracts with customers as required under Topic 606 (in thousands): As of September 30, 2020 As of December 31, 2019 Receivables $ 16,698 $ 21,158 Short-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue) 41,410 50,568 Long-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue) 508 1,058 We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable is recorded when customers are invoiced per the contractual billings schedules. As the Company's standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company elected the practical expedient, where applicable. As a result, the Company does not consider the effects of a significant financing component. Contract liabilities include customer billings delivered in advance of performance under the contract, and associated revenue is realized when services are rendered under the contract. Receivables increase due to customer billings and decrease by cash collected from customers. Contract liabilities increase due to customer billings and are decreased as performance obligations are satisfied under the contracts. The Company recognized the following revenues as a result of changes in the contract liability balances in the respective periods (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 Revenue recognized in the period from: Amounts included in the contract liability at the beginning of the period $ 23,724 $ 27,122 $ 46,172 $ 49,653 The following table includes estimated deferred revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period (in thousands): Remainder of 2020 2021 2022 2023 Total Tech-focused $ 23,197 $ 18,459 $ 239 $ 23 $ 41,918

Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	4. SALE OF BUSINESSES The Company sold the Hcareers business on May 22, 2018 for $16.5 million and incurred approximately $1.5 million in selling costs, with $1.7 million of the purchase price placed in escrow (recorded in prepaid and other current assets), to be released twelve months after the closing date, subject to the terms and conditions of the transaction agreement , including certain contingencies. Additionally, the Company recorded a receivable of $0.2 million related to working capital, subject to the terms and conditions of the transaction agreement. Net cash proceeds of $14.0 million were received on the date of sale of Hcareers. As a result of the sale, a $0.8 million loss was recognized in the second quarter of 2018. During the second quarter of 2019, the escrow of $1.7 million and working capital terms and related contingencies were finalized resulting in the Company recording an additional loss on sale of $0.5 million and receiving cash of $0.7 million from the escrow and $0.2 million from working capital. The Company sold the RigLogix portion of the Rigzone business on February 20, 2018 for $4.2 million and incurred approximately $0.6 million in selling costs. $0.4 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow, which was released to the Company in the first quarter of 2019. As a result of the sale, a $4.6 million gain was recognized in the first quarter of 2018. The gain on sale exceeded net proceeds as liabilities transferred in the transaction exceeded assets, primarily due to deferred revenues of $1.2 million.

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 and cash equivalents, 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. Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets include investments (included in other assets), goodwill and intangible assets which resulted from prior acquisitions. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. Such instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment.

Investments [Abstract]
Investments and Other Noncurrent Assets [Text Block]	INVESTMENTS At January 1, 2018, the Company held preferred stock representing a 10.0% interest in the fully diluted shares of a leading tech skills assessment company. During 2018, the skills assessment company completed an additional equity offering, lowering DHI's total interest to 7.6%. The Company did not adjust the recorded value of the investment because the shares issued under the new share offering were not similar to the Company's share rights. As of December 31, 2019 it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the preferred stock as the shares are not traded. The investment was carried at its original cost of $2.0 million and was included in the other assets section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, based on the investment's historical cash burn rate, uncertainty of its ability to meet revenue and cash flow projections, current liquidity position, lack of access to additional capital, and impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined the value to be zero. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.0 million during the first quarter of 2020. On January 31, 2018, the Company transferred a majority ownership of the BioSpace business to BioSpace management with zero proceeds received from the transfer, while retaining a 20% preferred share interest in the BioSpace business. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company sold its 20% interest in BioSpace to BioSpace management for $0.2 million. At the time of sale, the recorded value of the investment was zero. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $0.2 million gain on sale, which was included in interest expense and other on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Rigzone is a website dedicated to delivering online content, data, and career services in the oil and gas industry in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Oil and gas companies, as well as companies that serve the energy industry, use Rigzone to find talent for roles such as petroleum engineers, sales professionals with energy industry expertise and skilled tradesmen. On August 31, 2018, the Company transferred a majority ownership of the Rigzone business to Rigzone management, while retaining a 40% common share interest, with zero proceeds received from the transfer. The Company has evaluated the 40% common share interest in the Rigzone business and has determined the investment meets the definition and criteria of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Company evaluated the VIE and determined that the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. The common share interest is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Rigzone. As accumulated earnings of the VIE have been approximately zero since the date of transfer, the investment is recorded at zero at September 30, 2020.

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , applying the modified retrospective transition. The Company has operating leases for corporate office space and certain equipment. The leases have original terms from one year to eight years, some of which include options to renew the lease, and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. No leases include options to purchase the leased property. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We do not have any lease agreements with related parties. Operating lease right-of-use "ROU" assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating ROU assets and liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily available, the Company uses the implicit rate in determining the present value of the lease payments. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement of the lease, including the lease term. Because the implicit rate in each lease is not available, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. All operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The components of lease cost were as follows (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Operating lease cost * $ 942 $ 1,073 $ 3,122 $ 3,381 Sublease income (178) (332) (838) (986) Total lease cost $ 764 $ 741 $ 2,284 $ 2,395 * Includes short-term lease costs and variable lease costs, which are immaterial.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Intangible Assets Disclosure	ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET Considering the recognition of the Dice brand, its long history, awareness in the talent acquisition and staffing services market, and the intended use, the remaining useful life of the Dice.com trademarks and brand name was determined to be indefinite. We determine whether the carrying value of recorded indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets is impaired on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The impairment review process compares the fair value of the indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recorded. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had an indefinite-lived acquired intangible asset of $23.8 million and $39.0 million, respectively, related to the Dice trademarks and brand name. During the first quarter of 2020, because of the initial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on future earnings and cash flows that are attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis. As a result of the analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $7.2 million during the first quarter of 2020. During the third quarter of 2020, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continued and the Company's projected earnings and cash flows that are attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name declined as compared to the projections used in the March 31, 2020 analysis. As a result, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis as of September 30, 2020, which resulted in the Company recording an additional impairment charge of $8.0 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2020. No impairment was recorded during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019. The projections utilized in the March 31 and September 30, 2020 analyses included a decline in revenues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that are attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The September 30, 2020 analysis included a further decline in revenues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that are attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name for the year ending December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 and then increasing to rates approximating industry growth projections, although peaking at rates slightly lower than in the March 31, 2020 analysis. The Company’s ability to achieve these revenue projections may be impacted by, among other things, uncertainty related to COVID-19, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. Cash flows that are attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the lower revenue, but partially offset by reductions to operating expenses. Operating expenses, excluding impairments, utilized in the March 31 and September 30, 2020 analyses are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, including a reduction in operating margin. The March 31, 2020 analysis included modest operating margin improvements during the year ending December 31, 2021 and beyond while the September 30, 2020 analysis included a small reduction in operating margin during the year ending December 31, 2021 and then increasing modestly. If future cash flows that are attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period. In the March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 analyses, the Company utilized a relief from royalty rate method to value the Dice trademarks and brand name using a royalty rate of 5.0% and 4.0%, respectively, based on comparable industry studies and a discount rate of 17.5% and 15.5%, respectively. The decline in the royalty rate is due to revenue declines and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the decline in the discount rate is primarily due to the lower projections, as compared to the March 31, 2020 analysis.

Goodwill Disclosure [Text Block]	9. GOODWILL The following table shows the carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020 and the changes in goodwill for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 (in thousands): Goodwill at December 31, 2019 $ 156,059 Foreign currency translation adjustment (1,301) Impairment (23,626) Goodwill at September 30, 2020 $ 131,132 The amount of goodwill as of September 30, 2020 allocated to the Tech-focused reporting unit was $131.1 million. The annual impairment test for the Tech-focused reporting unit is performed on October 1 of each year. During the first quarter of 2020, because of the initial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on future earnings and cash flows for the reporting unit, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis of goodwill. The results of the analysis indicated that the fair value of the Tech-focused reporting unit was not substantially in excess of the carrying value as of March 31, 2020. The percentage by which the estimated fair value exceeded carrying value for the Tech-focused reporting unit at March 31, 2020 was less than 1%. During the third quarter of 2020, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continued and the Company's projected earnings and cash flows for the Tech-focused reporting unit declined as compared to the projections used in the March 31, 2020 analysis. As a result, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis as of September 30, 2020, which resulted in the Company recording an impairment charge of $23.6 millions during the three month period ended September 30, 2020. No impairment was recorded during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019. Revenue projections for the Tech-focused reporting unit declined compared to the projections used in the March 31, 2020 analysis due to the continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The September 30, 2020 analysis included a further decline in revenues attributable to the Tech-focused reporting unit for the year ending December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 and then increasing to rates approximating industry growth projections, although peaking at rates slightly lower than in the March 31, 2020 analysis. The Company’s ability to achieve these revenue projections may be impacted by, among other things, the length and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. Future cash flows attributable to the Tech-focused reporting unit are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the lower revenue, but partially offset by reductions to operating expenses. Operating expenses, excluding impairments, utilized in the March 31 and September 30, 2020 analyses are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, including a reduction in operating margin. The March 31, 2020 analysis included modest operating margin improvements during the year ending December 31, 2021 and beyond while the September 30, 2020 analysis included a small reduction in operating margin during the year ending December 31, 2021 and then increasing modestly. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of estimates and key assumptions, particularly assumed discount rates and projections of future operating results. The discount rate applied for the Tech-focused reporting unit in the September 30, 2020 analysis was 14.5%, compared to 16.5% at March 31, 2020. The decline in the discount rate is primarily due to the lower projections, as compared to the March 31, 2020 analysis. An increase to the discount rate applied or reductions to future projected operating results could result in future impairment of the Tech-focused reporting unit’s goodwill. It is reasonably possible that changes in judgments, assumptions and estimates the Company made in assessing the fair value of goodwill could cause the Company to consider some portion or all of the goodwill of the Tech-focused reporting unit to become impaired. In addition, a future decline in the overall market conditions, uncertainty related to COVID-19, political instability, and/or changes in the Company’s market share could negatively impact the estimated future cash flows and discount rates used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and could result in an impairment charge in the foreseeable future.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure	INDEBTEDNESS Credit Agreement —In November 2018, 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 a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which matures in November 2023, and replaced the previously existing credit agreement dated November 2015. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving loan facility of $90 million, with an expansion option up to $140 million, as permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement. 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 Company incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.45% on any unused capacity under the revolving loan facility, 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. Borrowings 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 2.50 to 1.00. Negative covenants include restrictions on incurring certain liens; making certain payments, such as stock repurchases and dividend payments; making certain investments; making certain acquisitions; making certain dispositions; 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 2.00 to 1.00, 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 September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by two of the Company’s U.S. based wholly-owned subsidiaries 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. The amounts borrowed as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows (dollars in thousands): September 30, December 31, Amounts borrowed: Revolving credit facility $ 37,000 $ 10,000 Less: deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization of $282 and $172 (454) (565) Total borrowed $ 36,546 $ 9,435 Available to be borrowed under revolving facility, subject to certain limitations $ 53,000 $ 80,000 Interest rates: LIBOR rate loans: Interest margin 2.00 % 1.75 % Actual interest rates 2.19 % 3.56 % Commitment Fee 0.35 % 0.30 % There are no scheduled principal payments until maturity of the Credit Agreement in November 2023.

Commitments and Contingencies	. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 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, except as described below and recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements, 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. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a $1.0 million liability related to a class action lawsuit regarding the applicability of provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (the "FCRA") to one of our products. The lawsuit was brought by Ian Douglas, individually, as a representative of the class and on behalf of the general public, against DHI Group, Inc. and Dice Inc. asserting six claims under the FCRA that the Company’s Open Web profiles are “consumer reports” and Dice is a “consumer reporting agency” under the FCRA, including claims pursuant to the private right of action in 15 U.S.C. Section 1681n for alleged willful violations of the FCRA. The action was originally filed in a federal district court on July 26, 2017, but as a part of the settlement process, the action was re-filed in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California (Case No. 18CV331732). The recorded liability reflected a settlement, which was subject to a final judgment, and was paid in the third quarter of 2019. The settlement resolved all remaining claims subject to the lawsuit, and final judgment approving the settlement was entered on July 24, 2020. 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.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [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. The Company recorded total stock based compensation expense of $1.5 million and $4.9 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $1.1 million and $4.1 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively. At September 30, 2020, there was $10.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.4 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 as described below. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants. The restricted stock vests in various increments either quarterly or 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 two to four years for employees. A summary of the status of restricted stock awards as of September 30, 2020 and 2019 and the changes during the periods then ended is presented below: Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Grant Date Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Grant Date Non-vested at beginning of the period 4,153,171 $ 2.48 4,549,079 $ 2.31 Granted 282,500 $ 2.34 233,000 $ 3.50 Forfeited (74,586) $ 2.63 (213,875) $ 2.40 Vested (204,816) $ 2.42 (215,026) $ 1.80 Non-vested at end of period 4,156,269 $ 2.47 4,353,178 $ 2.39 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Grant Date Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Grant Date Non-vested at beginning of the period 3,994,787 $ 2.46 4,518,932 $ 2.32 Granted 2,143,000 $ 2.68 2,100,790 $ 2.65 Forfeited (354,884) $ 2.85 (441,500) $ 2.75 Vested (1,626,634) $ 2.64 (1,825,044) $ 2.43 Non-vested at end of period 4,156,269 $ 2.47 4,353,178 $ 2.39 —PSUs are granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. These shares are granted under two compensation agreements that are for services provided by the employees. The first agreement expired and was terminated during the first quarter of 2020. Under the second agreement, the fair value of the PSUs are measured at the grant date fair value of the award, which was determined based on an analysis of the probable performance outcomes. The performance period is over one year and is based on the achievement of bookings targets during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, as defined in the agreement. The earned shares will then vest over a three year period, one-third on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, or if later, the date the Compensation Committee certifies the performance results with respect to the performance period. For the performance period ending December 31, 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the overall economy, the bookings targets were modified during the third quarter of 2020. Accordingly, the Company remeasured the awards. As of September 30, 2020, there were 1,572,756 unvested shares related to the second agreement. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants. A summary of the status of PSUs as of September 30, 2020 and 2019 and the changes during the periods then ended is presented below: Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Non-vested at beginning of the period 1,587,607 $ 2.50 1,722,500 $ 2.48 Forfeited (14,851) $ 2.55 (100,000) $ 2.35 Non-vested at end of period 1,572,756 $ 2.41 1,622,500 $ 2.49 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Non-vested at beginning of the period 1,664,650 $ 2.53 1,255,000 $ 3.45 Granted 911,460 $ 2.65 740,000 $ 2.40 Forfeited (680,778) $ 3.27 (372,500) $ 5.56 Vested (322,576) $ 1.92 — $ — Non-vested at end of period 1,572,756 $ 2.41 1,622,500 $ 2.49 Stock Options— The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) 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, where dilutive. For the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2020, 1.4 million and 1.3 million dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of shares contingently issuable upon exercise as we recognized a net loss. Outstanding stock-based awards that were anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS were approximately 2.3 million and 2.3 million shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, and approximately 0.4 million and 0.6 million shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
