Dice Q2 earnings up 33 percent
Increased recruitment activity at Dice.com and eFinancialCareers.com led to a 33 percent increase in net income during the second quarter for Dice Holdings Inc., the company reported.
Along with its earnings, the company also announced the launch of a new product, the Dice Talent Network.
Dice Holdings said it earned $3.7 million on revenue of $29.9 million during the quarter, compared with net income of $2.8 million on revenue of $27 million during the second quarter of 2009.
For the first six months of 2010, Dice Holdings earned nearly $7 million, up 5 percent from the first half of last year.
In addition to Dice.com, a recruitment website for technology employers and job-seekers, and eFinancialCareers, a recruitment site for financial careers, Dice Holdings operates ClearanceJobs.com, AllHealthcareJobs.com, WorldWideWorker.com and Dice Career Fairs.
The Dice Talent Network enables companies to build a network of career-minded technology professionals with interest in their companies. Employers can communicate directly via real-time chat or instant message as well as release network-wide announcements about new positions or opportunities. With an enhanced profile, the employer can offer — at their discretion — a more personal and introspective look at the company and its culture to technology professionals.

International holdings boost Dice’s quarter
Dice Holdings Inc., which operates IT-focused Dice.com and finance-jobs EFinancialCareers.com on several continents, reported Q3 revenues of 4 percent over the same quarter of 2007, or $39.6 million.
Not surprising, Dice’s international assets bolstered the quarter. EFinancialCareers.com non-U.S. operations was the big driver, which accounted for 25 percent of Dice Holdings’ consolidated revenues in the third quarter. Its North American counterpart, which also includes JobsintheMoney.com and Targeted Job Fairs of 2008, decreased 19 percent from the same quarter of 2007.
Q3 operating income grew 7 percent to $11.0 million from $10.3 million in the comparable quarter of 2007, as a result of higher revenues and lower amortization of intangible assets.
Net income for the quarter totaled $6.4 million, an increase of 52 percent from $4.2 million in Q307.
