- ClearanceJobs accelerated: Revenue grew 18% and bookings rose 32% year over year, including 15% core bookings growth excluding Point Solutions Group. Management said core bookings typically convert to revenue in about six months, supporting an outlook for continued growth.
- Dice remains under pressure: Revenue fell 13%, bookings declined 9%, and recruitment-package customers were down 19% year over year as renewals and customer count remained weak. The bookings decline narrowed from prior quarters and new-business bookings grew, but management expects pressure to continue through the rest of 2026.

- Full-year outlook was mixed: DHI narrowed its 2026 revenue guidance to $124 million–$126 million from $124 million–$128 million, while raising its adjusted EBITDA margin target to 26% from 25%. Management expects ClearanceJobs bookings growth to continue but said Dice bookings will likely remain pressured for the rest of the year.
