Revenue is recognized net of customer discounts ratably over the service period. 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.

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about opening and closing balances of receivables and contract liabilities from contracts with customers as required under ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2025As of December 31, 2024
Receivables$17,733 $22,120 
Short-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue)46,482 44,934 
Long-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue)376 522 

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable are recorded when customers are invoiced per the contractual billings schedules. As the Company's standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company elected the practical expedient, where applicable. As a result, the Company does not consider the effects of a significant financing component. Contract liabilities include customer billings delivered in advance of performance under the contract, and associated revenue is realized when services are rendered under the contract.

Receivables increase due to customer billings and decrease by cash collected from customers. Contract liabilities increase due to customer billings and are decreased as performance obligations are satisfied under the contracts.

Credit Losses

The Company is exposed to credit losses through the inability of its customers to make required payments on accounts receivable. The Company segments accounts receivable based on credit risk characteristics and estimates future losses for each segment based on historical trends and current market conditions, as applicable. Expected losses on accounts receivable are recorded as allowance for doubtful accounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and as an expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The portion of accounts receivable that is reflected as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets is not considered 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.
