The story
DHI Group is the parent of Dice.com (founded 1990) and ClearanceJobs, operating career marketplaces focused on technology and security-cleared talent. The company has no embedded finance surface area — it is a B2B SaaS/subscription business selling job postings and recruiter tooling to employers, not a platform that moves money for its users. Recent strategic focus has been AI: OpenAI-powered cover letters (2023), an AI-powered employer experience (2025), and an MCP/LLM connector for ChatGPT and Claude (2026).
