DHI Group, Inc. Acquires AgileATS to Expand ClearanceJobs' Market Leadership in GovTech Recruiting
Strategic acquisition adds a leading applicant tracking system to ClearanceJobs, unlocking new growth opportunities in the high-demand GovTech recruiting market
DHI Group, Inc. (NYSE:DHX) today announced it has acquired AgileATS, a leading applicant tracking system (ATS) purpose-built for government contractors and employers hiring security-cleared professionals. This acquisition significantly advances DHI's ClearanceJobs brand strategy, enabling the delivery of an end-to-end recruitment solution within the high-demand cleared talent market.
Many small and mid-sized employers in the GovTech space lack dedicated ATS tools, creating friction in the hiring process. The integration of AgileATS into the ClearanceJobs platform addresses this gap by delivering AI-powered features, including automated job postings, streamlined applicant workflows, enhanced sourcing capabilities, and actionable analytics.
"Acquiring AgileATS meaningfully expands our addressable market within the GovTech sector and strengthens ClearanceJobs' position as the go-to platform for security-cleared hiring," said Art Zeile, CEO of DHI Group. "This strategic move advances our long-term growth strategy by integrating purpose-built technology that delivers scalable, AI-powered solutions to government contractors facing complex and growing hiring demands."
"Employers in the cleared space need tools to meet the increasing demands of federal hiring," said Alex Schildt, President of ClearanceJobs. "By integrating AgileATS, we expand our mission to streamline and simplify cleared hiring while providing our clients with a measurable competitive advantage."
Transaction Details:
DHI Group, Inc. acquired AgileATS for an estimated purchase price of $2.0 million, which includes an up-front payment of $1.5 million in cash and another of $0.5 million that may be earned within two years of the purchase date upon satisfaction of certain performance criteria.

You should not place undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, information concerning our possible or assumed future financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, including expectations (financial or otherwise), our strategy, plans, objectives, and intentions, growth potential, and statements regarding our financial outlook. These statements often include words such as "may," "will," "should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "target" or similar expressions. These statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to execute our tech-focused strategy, a write-off of all or a part of our goodwill and intangible assets, backlog not accurately representing future revenue, competition from existing and future competitors in the highly competitive markets in which we operate, failure to adapt our business model to keep pace with rapid changes in the recruiting and career services business and the development of new products and services, failure to maintain and develop our reputation and brand recognition, failure to increase or maintain the number of customers who purchase recruitment packages, failure to attract qualified professionals to our websites or grow the number of qualified professionals who use our websites, inability to successfully integrate future acquisitions or identify and consummate future acquisitions, misappropriation or misuse of our intellectual property, claims against us for intellectual property infringement or failure to enforce our ownership of intellectual property, failure to attract and retain users who create and post original content on our web properties, taxation risks in various jurisdictions and the potential for unfavorable decisions related to tax assessments, taxation risks impacting our liability or past sales, and ability to make future sales, downturns in our customers' businesses, our indebtedness and our ability to borrow funds under our revolving credit facility or refinance our indebtedness, restrictions on our current and future operations under such indebtedness, development and use of artificial intelligence, failure to timely and efficiently scale, adapt and maintain our technology and infrastructure, capacity constraints, system failures or breaches of network security, usefulness of our candidate profiles to our customers, decreases in our user engagement, changes in search engines' methodologies, failure to halt operations of third-party websites aggregating our data, reliance on third-party hosting facilities, our compliance with laws and regulations, U.S. and foreign government regulation of the Internet and taxation, failure to attract or retain key executives and personnel, our ability to navigate the cyclicality or downturns of the U.S. and worldwide economies, litigation related to infringement or other claims regarding our services or content, our ability to defend ownership of our intellectual property, global climate change, compliance with the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, volatility in our stock price, differences between estimates of financial projections and future results, failure to maintain controls over financial reporting, results of operations fluctuating on a quarterly and annual basis, our Section 382 Rights Plan may have an anti-takeover effect, and anti-takeover provisions in our governing documents may make changes to management difficult, and disruption resulting from unsolicited offers to purchase the company. These factors and others are discussed in more detail in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are available on the Investors page of our website at www.dhigroupinc.com, including the Company's most recently filed reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and subsequent filings under the headings "Risk Factors," "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by the Company or its representatives herein, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which it is made.
