SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Notes)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DHI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in companies that are not consolidated are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements as described in Notes 4 and 7 of the notes to consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition — We recognize 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. Billings with customers are based on contractual schedules. Customer billings delivered in advance and payments received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the service period. We generate revenues from the following sources: Recruitment packages. Recruitment package revenues are derived from the sale of a subscription to recruiters and employers that includes a combination of job postings and/or access to candidate profiles on ClearanceJobs and Dice. Certain of the Company’s arrangements include multiple performance obligations, which primarily consists of the ability to post jobs and access to candidate profiles. The Company determines the units of accounting for multiple performance obligations in accordance with Topic 606. Specifically, the Company considers a performance obligation as a separate unit of accounting if it has value to the customer on a standalone basis. The Company’s arrangements do not include a general right of return. Services to customers buying a package of available job postings and access to candidate profiles are delivered over the same period and revenue is recognized ratably over the length of the underlying contract, typically from one Advertising revenue. Advertising revenue is recognized over the period in which the advertisements are displayed on the websites or at the time a promotional e-mail is sent out to the audience. Classified revenue. Classified job posting revenues are derived from the sale of job postings to recruiters and employers. A job posting is the ability to list a job on the website for a specified time period. Revenue from the sale of classified job postings is recognized ratably over the length of the contract or the period of actual usage. Career fair and recruitment event booth rentals. Career fair and recruitment event revenues, both live and virtual, are derived from renting booth space to recruiters and employers. Revenue from these sales are recognized when the career fair or recruitment event is held. Cash— Cash consists of demand deposits with financial institutions. Concentration of Credit Risk— Cash potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk as substantially all of its deposits were held in a single financial institution and were in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition as needed and does not require collateral on accounts receivable. No single customer represents 10% or more of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and no single customer represents 10% or more of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Credit Losses— The Company maintains allowances for estimated credit losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company's provision for credit losses is included in general and administrative expense. Customer billings included in deferred revenue are not consider at risk for credit losses. If the financial condition of DHI’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Statements of Cash Flows— All bank deposits are considered cash. The supplemental disclosures to the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows are as follows (in thousands): 2024 2023 2022 Supplemental cash flow information: Interest paid $ 3,184 $ 3,471 $ 1,480 Taxes paid 3,530 3,450 2,849 Non-cash investing and financing activities: Capital expenditures on fixed assets included in accounts payable and accrued expenses 168 1,009 327 Fixed Assets— Depreciation of equipment, furniture and fixtures, computer software and capitalized website development costs are provided under the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from two Capitalized Software Costs— Capitalized software costs consist of costs to purchase and develop software for internal use. The Company capitalizes incurred software development costs in accordance with the Internal Use Software subtopic of the FASB ASC. Costs incurred during the application-development stage for software bought and further customized by outside vendors for the Company’s use and software developed by a vendor for the Company’s proprietary use have been capitalized. These costs are amortized over the software’s estimated useful life, which generally approximates two years. Cloud Computing Arrangements— The Company incurs costs to implement cloud computing arrangements that are hosted by third party vendors. Implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements are capitalized when incurred during the application-development stage. The capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over approximately three years, which reflects the estimated useful life or contractual term of the underlying contract. Capitalized amounts related to such arrangements are recorded within other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Website Development Costs— The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in designing, developing, testing and implementing enhancements to its websites. These costs are amortized over the enhancement’s estimated useful life, which generally approximates two years. Costs related to the planning and post implementation phases of website development efforts are expensed as incurred. Capitalized Contract Costs— The Company capitalizes certain contract acquisition costs consisting primarily of commissions paid when contracts are signed. For costs incurred to obtain new business sales contracts, the Company capitalizes and expenses these costs over an average customer life, which was approximately three years as of December 31, 2024. For the remaining sales contracts, the Company capitalizes and expenses these costs over a period of one Leases— We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company primarily has operating leases for corporate office space and certain equipment. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The initial measurement of the lease liability is calculated on the basis of the present value of the remaining lease payments, and the right-of-use asset is measured on the basis of this liability, adjusted by prepaid and accrued rent, lease incentives, and initial direct costs. 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. Variable components of the lease payments, such as utilities and maintenance, are expensed as incurred and are not included in determining the present value. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight- line basis over the lease term. Equity Method Investments— The Company has a non-controlling common share interest in eFinancialCareers ("eFC") (adjusted to 10% as of the third quarter of 2023) and Rigzone (adjusted to zero percent as of the second quarter of 2022) businesses as the Company does not have the ability to direct the activities of the businesses that most significantly impact their economic performance. The common share interests in eFC and Rigzone, during the periods of ownership, are being accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company does have the ability to exercise significant influence over the businesses. The recorded value is adjusted based on the Company's proportionate share of the businesses net income and is recorded three months in arrears. See Note 7 for additional disclosures. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Acquired Intangible Asset— Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible asset acquired. The indefinite-lived acquired intangible asset includes the Dice trademarks and brand name. The Company performs a test for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset annually on October 1, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine if the carrying value of the recorded asset is impaired. The impairment review process for goodwill compares the fair value of the reporting unit in which goodwill resides to its carrying value. The impairment review process for the indefinite-lived intangible asset compares the fair value of the asset to its carrying value. The determination of whether or not the asset has become impaired involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of the Company’s reporting units or the intangible asset. Changes in the Company’s strategy and/or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of goodwill or the indefinite-lived intangible asset. See Notes 9 and 10 for additional disclosures. Foreign Currency Translation— Translation adjustments relate to the Company's equity method investment in eFC, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. The assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates and transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising Costs— The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $13.6 million, $14.9 million and $17.9 million, respectively. Income Taxes— The Company recognizes deferred taxes by the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The primary sources of temporary differences are stock-based compensation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, depreciation of fixed assets, operating lease assets and liabilities, and capitalized contract costs. Stock-Based Compensation— The Company has a plan to grant equity awards to certain employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation , the Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. See Note 15 for additional disclosures. Fair Value of Financial Instruments— The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values. The Company’s long-term debt consists of borrowings under its credit facility. Investments consist of common and preferred share ownership interests in businesses. See Notes 3 and 11 for additional disclosures. Risks and Uncertainties— The Company is subject to the risks, expenses and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the rapidly evolving markets for online products and services. These risks include the failure to develop and extend the Company’s web sites and brands, the rejection of the Company’s services by consumers, vendors and/or advertisers, the inability of the Company to maintain and increase the levels of traffic on its web sites, as well as other risks and uncertainties. In the event that the Company does not successfully execute its business plan, certain assets may not be recoverable. Use of Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. DHI’s significant estimates include the useful lives and valuation of fixed assets, intangible asset, goodwill, lease right-of-use assets, income taxes, and the assumptions used to value the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) of the Company. Earnings per Share— The Company follows the Earnings Per Share topic of the FASB ASC in computing earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. When the effects are dilutive, diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards as determined under the treasury stock method. Certain stock awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect. See Note 19 for additional disclosures. New Accounting Pronouncements— 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. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 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 as of January 1, 2023. 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. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the fourth quarter of 2024. See Note 18 for additional disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The new accounting standard requires more detailed disclosures regarding the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of the standard on our consolidated financial statement disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) ("ASU 2024-03") . ASU 2024-03 will require companies to disaggregate, within the notes to the financial statements, certain expenses presented on the face of the financial statements to enhance transparency and help investors better understand an entity's performance. The amendment will specifically require that an entity disclose the amounts related to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. Entities will also be required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on the Company’s financial statement 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 consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and long-term debt approximate their fair values. Investments, non-current that were carried at fair value, prior to the conversion to preferred shares as described in Note 7, used a discounted cash flow technique based on the probability of one or more possible outcomes, based on Level 3 inputs, which inputs and fair value did not change during the 2022 period prior to the conversion. 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 asset 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. Impairment

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block]	. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to our customers, either on a ratable basis over the contract period beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer or as the products and services are used, and 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. The Company excludes sales tax from the transaction price and therefore, recognizes revenue net of applicable sales taxes. 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 primarily serve the technology and security cleared professions. The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by brand (in thousands): For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 ClearanceJobs $ 54,143 $ 50,348 $ 43,746 Dice 87,783 101,530 105,934 Total 1 $ 141,926 $ 151,878 $ 149,680 (1) We had previously disclosed that career events were recorded within Dice.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investment	INVESTMENTS eFinancialCareers During the third quarter of 2023, the Company sold a portion of its ownership in eFinancialCareers ("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. The Company's investment in eFC was recorded at $1.8 million and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 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 years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 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. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of income related to its proportionate share of eFC's net income, net of currency translation adjustments and amortization of the basis difference. Rigzone 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 and control of the Rigzone business to Rigzone management, while retaining a 40% common share interest, with zero proceeds received from the transfer. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company sold its 40% interest in Rigzone to Rigzone management for $0.3 million. At the time of the sale, the recorded value of the investment was zero. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $0.3 million gain on sale, which was included in gain on investments on the consolidated statements of operations. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a legal settlement with a former employee of Rigzone and received $2.1 million, net of certain legal costs and subject to other agreements. The settlement is recorded as proceeds from settlement in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 December 31, 2024 is less than 0.10%. At December 31, 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 December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The Company recorded no gain or loss related to the investment during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Intangible Assets, Net (Excluding Goodwill) [Abstract]
Acquired Intangible Assets, Net	ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSET, NET As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had an indefinite-lived acquired intangible asset of $23.8 million related to the Dice trademarks and brand name. 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 asset 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 asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recorded. The impairment test performed as of October 1, 2024 resulted in the fair value of the Dice trademarks and brand name exceeding the carrying value by 4%. The Company's operating results attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name for the fourth quarter of 2024 and estimated future results as of December 31, 2024 approximate the projections used in the October 1, 2024 analysis. As a result, the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the Dice trademarks and brand name is less than the carrying value as of December 31, 2024. Therefore, no quantitative impairment test was performed as of December 31, 2024. No impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The Company’s ability to achieve the projections used in the October 1, 2024 analysis may be impacted by, among other things, 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 Dice trademarks and brand name are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period. In the October 1, 2024 analysis, the Company utilized a relief from royalty rate method to value the Dice trademarks and brand name using a royalty rate of 4.0%, which is based on comparable industry licensing agreements and the profitability attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name, and a discount rate of 16.6%.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
GOODWILL	GOODWILL As of December 31, 2024, the Company has goodwill of $128.1 million, which was all allocated to the Tech-focused reporting unit. There were no changes to goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. We determine whether the carrying value of recorded goodwill is impaired on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. In testing goodwill for impairment, a qualitative assessment can be performed and if it is determined that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the impairment review process compares the fair value of the reporting unit in which the goodwill resides to the carrying value of that reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value. Our annual impairment test for goodwill is performed on October 1 of each year. The annual impairment test for the Tech-focused reporting unit performed as of October 1, 2024 resulted in the fair value of the reporting unit being substantially in excess of the carrying value. Results for the Tech-focused reporting unit for the fourth quarter of 2024 and estimated future results as of December 31, 2024 approximate the projections used in the October 1, 2024 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 December 31, 2024. Therefore, no quantitative impairment test was performed as of December 31, 2024. No impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The discount rate applied for the Tech-focused reporting unit in the October 1, 2024 analysis was 15.6%. 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 the Tech-focused reporting unit 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, 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. The determination of whether or not goodwill has become impaired is judgmental in nature and requires the use of estimates and key assumptions, particularly assumed discount rates and projections of future operating results, such as forecasted revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margins and capital expenditure requirements. Fair values are determined by using a combination of a discounted cash flow methodology and a market comparable method. The discounted cash flow methodology is based on projections of the amounts and timing of future revenues and cash flows, assumed discount rates and other assumptions as deemed appropriate. We consider factors such as historical performance, anticipated market conditions, operating expense trends and capital expenditure requirements. Additionally, the discounted cash flows analysis takes into consideration cash expenditures for product development, other technological updates and advancements to our websites and investments to improve our candidate databases. The market comparable method indicates the fair value of a business by comparing it to publicly traded companies in similar lines of business or to comparable transactions or assets. Considerations for factors such as size, growth, profitability, risk and return on investment are analyzed and compared to the comparable businesses and adjustments are made. A market value of invested capital of the publicly traded companies is calculated and then applied to the entity’s operating results to arrive at an estimate of value. Changes in our strategy and/or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of goodwill.

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%.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]	Cybersecurity is at the foundation of the Company's values and the way it approaches its users, professionals, and customers. We face a number of external threats common to companies in the industries we serve, such as ransomware, denial-of-service, phishing, and social engineering. Our customers, suppliers, and professionals face similar threats, and a cybersecurity incident impacting the Company or any of these entities could materially adversely affect the performance of our businesses, our results of operations, and our cash flows. We maintain cyber event related insurance but we have also instituted an information security structure and process to assess, identify, manage, and, if necessary, report cybersecurity risks. We maintain a cybersecurity incident response process and a tracking system for any incidents in an effort to ensure appropriate actions are taken. Any member of the Company can report a suspected incident and it will be investigated. We have implemented data security standards in our architecture and system design techniques. Reviews and testing of our systems and subsystems are performed at regular intervals and are designed to ensure our capability to respond to cybersecurity incidents or threats. Our cybersecurity framework is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework. In accordance with this framework, risks are analyzed for impact and probability to determine severity level, with classifications of critical, high, medium, or low risk. These processes have been integrated into our overall risk management system and processes and are part of our operating procedures, internal controls and information systems. In addition, we engage in an ongoing improvement process to enhance our cybersecurity posture. Third parties also play a role in our cybersecurity. We engage third-party services to assist in the scanning and testing of our web properties and cloud infrastructure. We have a retainer with a cybersecurity response organization to immediately respond and provide professional expertise and assistance if necessary. Our process is designed to provide any required notifications in case of a cyber event, including those to federal, state, and local authorities, as well as to our insurance providers and auditors. We also utilize a supply chain risk management process to assess cybersecurity risks associated with third-party software providers. We perform third-party risk assessments to both identify and mitigate risks from third parties such as vendors, suppliers, and others associated with our use of third-party service providers. Cybersecurity risks are evaluated when determining the selection and oversight of applicable third-party service providers and potential fourth-party risks when handling and/or processing our employee, business or customer data. In addition to new vendor onboarding, we perform risk management during third-party cybersecurity compromise incidents to identify and mitigate risks to us from third-party incidents. The Company maintains a Security Council that regularly meets to review current or potential threats. The Security Council's membership consists of the following: the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Vice President of Technology Operations, Director of Systems Engineering, and Head of Internal Audit. We also employ a Security Department responsible for cybersecurity across the organizations. The individuals in this department are vetted for their experience and expertise before joining the team and maintain continued education and training each year using our enhanced learning program. This department's responsibilities include cyber security risk management, security operations, awareness training, incident response, industry awareness and reporting. The team assesses and maintains awareness of global cyber security threats by using several services and notifications from our vendors. The team then considers each of these threats as applied to our environment, process, operations, vendors and clients. The Security Council is led by the Vice President of Technology Operations, and Director of Systems Engineering, each of whom have a depth of knowledge and experience in the cyber security space.

SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DHI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in companies that are not consolidated are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements as described in Notes 4 and 7 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.
Revenue [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition — We recognize 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. Billings with customers are based on contractual schedules. Customer billings delivered in advance and payments received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the service period. We generate revenues from the following sources: Recruitment packages. Recruitment package revenues are derived from the sale of a subscription to recruiters and employers that includes a combination of job postings and/or access to candidate profiles on ClearanceJobs and Dice. Certain of the Company’s arrangements include multiple performance obligations, which primarily consists of the ability to post jobs and access to candidate profiles. The Company determines the units of accounting for multiple performance obligations in accordance with Topic 606. Specifically, the Company considers a performance obligation as a separate unit of accounting if it has value to the customer on a standalone basis. The Company’s arrangements do not include a general right of return. Services to customers buying a package of available job postings and access to candidate profiles are delivered over the same period and revenue is recognized ratably over the length of the underlying contract, typically from one Advertising revenue. Advertising revenue is recognized over the period in which the advertisements are displayed on the websites or at the time a promotional e-mail is sent out to the audience. Classified revenue. Classified job posting revenues are derived from the sale of job postings to recruiters and employers. A job posting is the ability to list a job on the website for a specified time period. Revenue from the sale of classified job postings is recognized ratably over the length of the contract or the period of actual usage. Career fair and recruitment event booth rentals. Career fair and recruitment event revenues, both live and virtual, are derived from renting booth space to recruiters and employers. Revenue from these sales are recognized when the career fair or recruitment event is held. Cash— Cash consists of demand deposits with financial institutions.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Concentration of Credit Risk— Cash potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk as substantially all of its deposits were held in a single financial institution and were in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition as needed and does not require collateral on accounts receivable. No single customer represents 10% or more of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and no single customer represents 10% or more of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Credit Loss, Financial Instrument [Policy Text Block]	Credit Losses—
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Statements of Cash Flows— All bank deposits are considered cash. The supplemental disclosures to the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows are as follows (in thousands): 2024 2023 2022 Supplemental cash flow information: Interest paid $ 3,184 $ 3,471 $ 1,480 Taxes paid 3,530 3,450 2,849 Non-cash investing and financing activities: Capital expenditures on fixed assets included in accounts payable and accrued expenses 168 1,009 327
Property, Plant and Equipment, Impairment [Policy Text Block]	Fixed Assets— Depreciation of equipment, furniture and fixtures, computer software and capitalized website development costs are provided under the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from two
Internal Use Software, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Capitalized Software Costs— Capitalized software costs consist of costs to purchase and develop software for internal use. The Company capitalizes incurred software development costs in accordance with the Internal Use Software subtopic of the FASB ASC. Costs incurred during the application-development stage for software bought and further customized by outside vendors for the Company’s use and software developed by a vendor for the Company’s proprietary use have been capitalized. These costs are amortized over the software’s estimated useful life, which generally approximates two years. Cloud Computing Arrangements—
Property, Plant and Equipment, Preproduction Design and Development Costs [Policy Text Block]	Website Development Costs— The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in designing, developing, testing and implementing enhancements to its websites. These costs are amortized over the enhancement’s estimated useful life, which generally approximates two years. Costs related to the planning and post implementation phases of website development efforts are expensed as incurred. Capitalized Contract Costs— The Company capitalizes certain contract acquisition costs consisting primarily of commissions paid when contracts are signed. For costs incurred to obtain new business sales contracts, the Company capitalizes and expenses these costs over an average customer life, which was approximately three years as of December 31, 2024. For the remaining sales contracts, the Company capitalizes and expenses these costs over a period of one Leases— We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company primarily has operating leases for corporate office space and certain equipment. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The initial measurement of the lease liability is calculated on the basis of the present value of the remaining lease payments, and the right-of-use asset is measured on the basis of this liability, adjusted by prepaid and accrued rent, lease incentives, and initial direct costs. 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. Variable components of the lease payments, such as utilities and maintenance, are expensed as incurred and are not included in determining the present value. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight- line basis over the lease term. Equity Method Investments— The Company has a non-controlling common share interest in eFinancialCareers ("eFC") (adjusted to 10% as of the third quarter of 2023) and Rigzone (adjusted to zero percent as of the second quarter of 2022) businesses as the Company does not have the ability to direct the activities of the businesses that most significantly impact their economic performance. The common share interests in eFC and Rigzone, during the periods of ownership, are being accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company does have the ability to exercise significant influence over the businesses. The recorded value is adjusted based on the Company's proportionate share of the businesses net income and is recorded three months in arrears. See Note 7 for additional disclosures.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Acquired Intangible Asset—
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	Foreign Currency Translation—
Advertising Cost [Policy Text Block]	Advertising Costs— The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $13.6 million, $14.9 million and $17.9 million, respectively.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes— The Company recognizes deferred taxes by the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The primary sources of temporary differences are stock-based compensation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, depreciation of fixed assets, operating lease assets and liabilities, and capitalized contract costs.
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block]	Stock-Based Compensation— The Company has a plan to grant equity awards to certain employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation , the Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. See Note 15 for additional disclosures.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value of Financial Instruments— The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values. The Company’s long-term debt consists of borrowings under its credit facility. Investments consist of common and preferred share ownership interests in businesses. See Notes 3 and 11 for additional disclosures.
Unusual Risks and Uncertainties [Table Text Block]	Risks and Uncertainties— The Company is subject to the risks, expenses and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the rapidly evolving markets for online products and services. These risks include the failure to develop and extend the Company’s web sites and brands, the rejection of the Company’s services by consumers, vendors and/or advertisers, the inability of the Company to maintain and increase the levels of traffic on its web sites, as well as other risks and uncertainties. In the event that the Company does not successfully execute its business plan, certain assets may not be recoverable.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. DHI’s significant estimates include the useful lives and valuation of fixed assets, intangible asset, goodwill, lease right-of-use assets, income taxes, and the assumptions used to value the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) of the Company.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Earnings per Share— The Company follows the Earnings Per Share topic of the FASB ASC in computing earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. When the effects are dilutive, diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards as determined under the treasury stock method. Certain stock awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect. See Note 19 for additional disclosures.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	New Accounting Pronouncements— 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. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 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 as of January 1, 2023. 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. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the fourth quarter of 2024. See Note 18 for additional disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The new accounting standard requires more detailed disclosures regarding the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of the standard on our consolidated financial statement disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) ("ASU 2024-03") . ASU 2024-03 will require companies to disaggregate, within the notes to the financial statements, certain expenses presented on the face of the financial statements to enhance transparency and help investors better understand an entity's performance. The amendment will specifically require that an entity disclose the amounts related to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. Entities will also be required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
