Dreamwork FAQ

What is Dreamwork?

Dreamwork is an AI job search agent for professionals in any function, not only tech. It ranks live roles against your resume, writes a tailored resume, cover letter and answers for each role you pick, and submits it when you tap Apply, or on its own if you turn on Autopilot.

Is Dreamwork only for tech jobs?

No. Dreamwork matches, tailors, and applies for roles across engineering, product, design, data, marketing, sales, operations, finance, HR, legal, and customer success at employers that hire through their own career sites and applicant tracking systems. It also lists frontline, healthcare, and trades jobs, but its matching and Autopilot aren't tuned for them yet.

Who Dreamwork is for, and who it isn't

Is Dreamwork legit?

Yes. Dreamwork is rated 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 22 reviews (checked November 11, 2026); 8,000+ people onboarded and 17,000+ applications submitted since June 2026 (as of Nov 2026). It is built by Ponder Labs, Inc. and was founded by Colin Johnson (CEO) and Ben Adamsky (CTO). Its prices are published, matching is free, and it applies on each employer's own career site or applicant tracking system with a resume and cover letter written from your real resume. It doesn't log in to LinkedIn or automate Easy Apply.

What do Dreamwork's users say?

On Trustpilot, most reviews praise how easy it is to use and the time it saves. The one review under four stars, a 3-star review from Switzerland, says search results outside the US were mostly irrelevant, it was unclear how and when Dreamwork would apply, two of three roles had to be applied to by hand or had a broken link, and the resume and cover letter were barely tailored and plainly formatted. Trustpilot notes that Dreamwork hasn't invited customers to review recently, so the reviews may not be representative.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, for Pro. New accounts can try Pro free for 7 days, then it's $39 a month unless you cancel. The trial includes Apply and Autopilot, so Dreamwork can send applications for you during it. It's on monthly billing, one per account, and you can start it from the pricing page or when you go to apply or upgrade. Checkout asks for a card; cancel before the 7 days end and you aren't charged.

How much can I do for free?

The Free plan includes unlimited job matches and a tailored resume and cover letter for 5 jobs a day. You also get a match score on every job, all your applications in one place, and no ads. On the free plan you apply yourself: each job links to the employer's own application page, with your resume and cover letter ready.

How many jobs can Dreamwork apply to for me?

Up to 50 applications a month on Pro and 300 on Dreamer, counting Apply and Autopilot together. On the Free plan Dreamwork doesn't send for you; it includes unlimited matches, and a tailored resume and cover letter for 5 jobs a day. You apply yourself: each job links to the employer's own application page, with the resume and cover letter ready. Autopilot is off until you turn it on.

Does Dreamwork submit applications without my approval?

Only if you turn on Autopilot. Otherwise nothing is sent until you tap Apply on a role. Apply sends the application once it is written, or, if you choose Review first, holds it for you to check and send. Turning on Autopilot gives Dreamwork permission to apply to matching roles for you, and you can pause it anytime.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from billing in the app or by emailing support@dreamworkhq.com. Your paid features stay on to the end of the period you already paid for, then your account goes back to the Free plan. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable.

Does Dreamwork give refunds?

Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable. There are no refunds or credits for partially used periods, downgrades, or unused allowances, and Dreamwork does not prorate the unused part of a billing period when you cancel. If you think you were charged in error, email support@dreamworkhq.com within 30 days and Dreamwork will review the charge in good faith.

Is my data safe with Dreamwork?

Dreamwork uses TLS for all traffic, encrypts resume files at rest, and keeps API keys hashed. Your resume goes to an employer when an application is sent, by you or by Autopilot, and to a recruiter only if Dreamwork introduces you for a relevant role. When an employer's application site requires an account, Dreamwork or a provider acting for it creates one for that application, and once it is confirmed you can see the login on that application in Dreamwork. Dreamwork does not use your personal resume content to train public, third-party, or its own general-purpose AI models. You can delete your account in Profile, and personal data is removed within 30 days.

Can I stop Dreamwork introducing me to recruiters?

Yes. Recruiter introductions are on unless you turn them off. While they're on, recruiters can find an anonymized summary of your profile, and Dreamwork may introduce you to a recruiter or hiring manager for a relevant role and share your profile and resume with them. You can turn off Recruiter introductions yourself in Profile → Notifications, or ask support to do it. Turning it off stops future matching and introductions. It doesn't recall what was already shared.

What happens when an employer's site needs an account?

Some application portals, such as Workday and iCIMS, need an account before you can apply. Dreamwork creates it while it applies, using the email address the application is sent with. Once the account is confirmed, you can see the login on that application. Open the application from your Dashboard and choose Portal login, or choose Portal login (the key button) in its Messages thread. The password stays hidden until you choose Show password. If you sign in to the portal yourself later and it emails a verification code or password reset link from that employer or its application system, Dreamwork forwards it to your personal email. While Dreamwork is applying for you, or shortly after, it may hold a code instead, so if one doesn't arrive, request a new one a little later. If the application was sent from an email account you connected, the code arrives in that inbox directly. Verification codes don't appear in Messages.

How many job listings does Dreamwork search?

Dreamwork tracks 2.5M+ active roles, a live count as of Nov 15, 2026. It counts every job listing currently marked active in Dreamwork, across all sources and countries, including listings still being processed or de-duplicated. They come from company career pages and public listings, crawled daily, and are ranked to your resume. Dreamwork matches, tailors, and applies for roles across engineering, product, design, data, marketing, sales, operations, finance, HR, legal, and customer success at employers that hire through their own career sites and applicant tracking systems. It also lists frontline, healthcare, and trades jobs, but its matching and Autopilot aren't tuned for them yet.
