On Tuesday, Dice announced the pricing of the stock at $13 per share. By Wednesday, shares climbed as much as 15.2% to $14.98 during morning trading and were up 3.4% by mid-day.
The Urbandale, Iowa-based niche job-board company operates Dice.com, Cleararancejobs.com, eFinancialCareers.com, and JobsintheMoney.com.
Shares being offered include 6,700,000 by the company and 10,000,000 by selling stockholders.
