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” or "we," "our" or "us") have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). 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 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, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year or any other future period. 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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024. The Company allocates resources and assesses financial performance on a consolidated basis, as all services pertain to the Company's Tech-focused strategy. As a result, t he Company has a single reportable segment, Tech-focused, which includes the Dice and ClearanceJobs brands, as well as corporate related costs. All operations are in the United States.

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 are to 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 then-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. On January 1, 2023, under the modified retrospective method as required by the standard, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $0.3 million to increase accumulated earnings and reduce the allowance for doubtful accounts. Prior period amounts were not adjusted, and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period presented. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures . The new accounting standard relates to disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and provides more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with retrospective application required. We are evaluating the effect of the standard on our consolidated financial statement disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

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 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 as they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. Such instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. These assets include equity investments, operating lease right-of-use assets, and 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.

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 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.

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 revenue as a result of changes in the contract liability balances in the respective periods (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Revenue recognized in the period from: Amounts included in the contract liability at the beginning of the period $ 26,882 $ 26,958 $ 45,444 $ 44,660 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 2024 2025 2026 2027 Total Tech-focused $ 25,202 $ 21,128 $ 422 $ 161 $ 46,913 Credit Losses The Company is exposed to credit losses through the inability of its customers to make required payments on accounts receivable.

Investments [Abstract]
Investment	eFinancialCareers On June 30, 2021, the Company transferred majority ownership and control of its eFinancialCareers ("eFC") business to eFC's management, while retaining a 40% common share interest with zero proceeds received from the transfer. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company sold a portion of its ownership in eFC reducing its total interest in eFC from 40% to 10%. As a result of the sale, the Company received cash of $4.9 million and recognized a $0.6 million gain, which included a $0.2 million charge related to accumulated foreign currency loss that was previously a reduction to equity. eFC is a financial services careers website, operating websites in multiple markets in four languages mainly across the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America. Professionals from across many sectors of the financial services industry, including asset management, risk management, investment banking, and information technology, use eFC to advance their careers. The Company has evaluated its common share interest in the eFC 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 eFC. The investment was recorded at its fair value on June 30, 2021, the date of transfer, which was $3.6 million. The Company's equity in the net assets of eFC as of June 30, 2021 was $2.2 million. The difference between the Company's recorded value and its equity in net assets of eFC was reduced during the third quarter of 2023, as described above, as the Company reduced its ownership in eFC. The remaining basis difference at the time of sale was $0.3 million and is being amortized against the recorded value of the investment in accordance with ASC 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures . Amortization expense during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was not significant. The recorded value is further adjusted based on the Company's proportionate share of eFC's net income and is recorded three months in arrears. The Company recorded income related to its proportionate share of eFC's net income, net of currency translation adjustments and amortization of the basis difference, of zero and $0.3 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and recorded $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Other During 2021, the Company invested $3.0 million through a subordinated convertible promissory note (the "Note") with a values-based career destination company that allows the next generation workforce to search for jobs at companies whose people, perks and values align with their unique professional needs. The investment was recorded as a trading security at fair value and was recorded at $3.0 million as of December 31, 2021. In the third quarter of 2022, the Note was converted into preferred shares representing 4.9% of the outstanding equity in the underlying business, on a fully-diluted basis. The Company's preferred shares are substantially similar to shares purchased by a third party investor that resulted in such investor becoming the majority owner of the business. Therefore the Company's shares in the business were recorded at fair value based on the price per share realized in the conversion. The value of the Company's investment was $0.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and was recorded as an investment in the consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment loss during the year ended December 31, 2022 of $2.3 million. During the third quarter of 2023, the investment's financial position deteriorated. To meet its financial obligations, the investment issued convertible debt at a price that indicated the value of the investment had declined. As such, the Company revalued its investment to $0.4 million and accordingly, recognized an impairment loss of $0.3 million during the third quarter of 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, the investment's financial position further deteriorated. To meet its financial obligations, the investment issued additional convertible debt at a price that indicated the value of the investment had declined. As such, the Company revalued its investment to zero and accordingly, recognized an impairment loss of $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2024. The Company's ownership of the investment, on a fully diluted basis, as of September 30, 2024 is less than 0.10%. At September 30, 2024, the Company held preferred stock representing a 7.3% interest in the fully diluted shares of a tech skills assessment company. The investment is recorded at zero as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company recorded no gain or loss related to the investment during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

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 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 annual impairment test for the Dice trademarks and brand name is performed on October 1 of each year. 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. There were no indicators of impairment for the Dice trademarks and brand name for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the Company had an indefinite-lived acquired intangible asset of $23.8 million related to the Dice trademarks and brand name. No impairment was recorded during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill Disclosure [Text Block]	. GOODWILL Goodwill as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, which was allocated to the Tech-focused reporting unit, was $128.1 million. The annual impairment test for the Tech-focused reporting unit is performed on October 1 of each year. The results of the impairment test indicated that the fair value of the Tech-focused reporting unit was substantially in excess of the carrying value as of October 1, 2023. Results for the Tech-focused reporting unit through September 30, 2024 and estimated future results as of September 30, 2024 approximate the projections used in the October 1, 2023 analysis. As a result, the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value as of September 30, 2024. Therefore, no quantitative impairment test was performed as of September 30, 2024. No impairment was recorded during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s ability to achieve the projections used in the October 1, 2023 analysis may be impacted by, among other things, general market conditions, 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. If future cash flows that are attributable to the Tech-focused reporting unit are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period.

The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving loan facility of $100 million, with an expansion option of $50 million, bringing the total facility to $150 million, as permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement. At the closing of the Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed $30 million to repay, in full, all outstanding indebtedness, including accrued interest, under the previous credit agreement. Unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous credit agreement of $0.2 million and debt issuance costs of $0.5 million related to the new agreement were recorded as other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are recorded to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest, payable at least quarterly, at the Company’s option, at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or a base rate plus a margin. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in pounds sterling, if any, bear interest at the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% on SOFR and SONIA loans and 1.00% to 1.75% on base rate loans, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio, plus an additional spread of 0.10%.

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 $7.5 million of restricted payments each fiscal year, as described in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also provides that the payment of obligations may be accelerated upon the occurrence of events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment, change of control, or insolvency. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

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 restricted stock grants is recorded over the vesting period as described below. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants. 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 three years for employees. A summary of the status of restricted stock awards as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 and the changes during the periods then ended is presented below: Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Grant Date Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Grant Date Non-vested at beginning of the period 2,982,437 $ 3.52 2,574,925 $ 4.82 Granted 196,000 $ 2.11 307,174 $ 3.57 Forfeited (121,509) $ 3.88 (289,002) $ 5.45 Vested (219,696) $ 4.01 (360,325) $ 4.09 Non-vested at end of period 2,837,232 $ 3.37 2,232,772 $ 4.69 Expected to vest 2,837,232 $ 3.37 2,232,772 $ 4.69 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Grant Date Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value at Grant Date Non-vested at beginning of the period 2,333,436 $ 4.55 2,639,286 $ 3.96 Granted 1,857,739 $ 2.49 1,590,172 $ 5.17 Forfeited (176,511) $ 3.83 (475,681) $ 5.24 Vested (1,177,432) $ 4.25 (1,521,005) $ 3.76 Non-vested at end of period 2,837,232 $ 3.37 2,232,772 $ 4.69 Expected to vest 2,837,232 $ 3.37 2,232,772 $ 4.69 —PSUs are granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.
