Dice Partners with GlossaryTech to Give Tech Recruiters Free, Instant Access to Technical Terminology — Right Inside Their Workflow

Dice (a DHI Group, Inc. brand; NYSE: DHX), a leading tech career marketplace, has announced a partnership with GlossaryTech, a free browser extension that provides tech recruiters with instant, plain-language definitions of technical terminology as they work. Available now in the Dice Recruiter Hub at no additional cost to clients, GlossaryTech is the latest investment in helping recruiting teams evaluate tech candidates faster, more confidently, and without breaking their workflow.
The Problem Every Tech Recruiter Knows
Tech terminology evolves faster than any recruiter can keep pace with. New frameworks, programming languages, cloud platforms, and toolchains emerge constantly — and even experienced recruiters struggle to quickly distinguish Java from JavaScript, AWS from Azure, or React from Angular. The typical workaround — switching to Google, an AI tool, or a general reference site — pulls recruiters out of the workflow entirely, costs time, and often returns engineer-facing documentation that was never designed for hiring professionals to parse.
The cumulative effect is significant: recruiters spend meaningful time on terminology lookups rather than sourcing and evaluation, and less confident technical interpretation can lead to weaker candidate screening and slower hiring cycles. GlossaryTech, through its partnership with Dice, solves this problem directly inside the workflow — without requiring recruiter teams to leave the tools they are already using.
How GlossaryTech Works
Once installed on Chrome or Edge, GlossaryTech automatically highlights technical terms on any webpage — including Dice, Gmail, Google Docs, LinkedIn, and thousands of other sites where recruiters routinely work. A simple hover over any highlighted term delivers a clear, recruiter-friendly definition instantly, with no tab-switching, no searching, and no interruption to the current task. A category sidebar — organised by Front-end, Back-end, DevOps, Databases, QA, and more — allows teams to browse and filter terms by category, making it straightforward to match a candidate's skill profile to the requirements of specific open roles at a glance.
The definitions are curated by both recruiting and engineering professionals — a deliberate design choice that makes the content practical, current, and genuinely accessible rather than technically exhaustive or jargon-heavy. The tool has been trusted by tech recruiters since its launch in 2018, growing organically within the recruiting community well before the Dice partnership formalised its availability at scale.
"At Dice, our commitment goes beyond access to candidates; we're focused on making the entire hiring process more seamless and efficient. Partnering with GlossaryTech reflects that commitment. When recruiters can instantly understand the technical terms in a job description or résumé without breaking their workflow, they source more effectively, evaluate more quickly, and ultimately make stronger hires. We're proud to offer this capability directly within the Dice Recruiter Hub at no additional cost."
— Paul Farnsworth, President, Dice
A Proven Onboarding Tool — Now Available at Scale
Staffing firms have already adopted GlossaryTech as a core onboarding tool for new recruiters — with organisations reporting that it compresses the learning curve on technical skills evaluation from weeks to days. For firms that regularly onboard recruiters without deep technical backgrounds, that acceleration represents a direct reduction in time-to-productivity and a measurable improvement in early-stage candidate evaluation quality.
"We're excited to bring the results of our hard work to Dice's community of recruiters and hiring teams. Partnering with Dice is the logical next step for a tool that recruiters already trust. We share the same commitment to making tech hiring smarter, and together we can deliver that to more teams than ever before."
— Andrew Stetsenko, Founder, GlossaryTech
