How does Dreamwork Autopilot work?

Which roles does Autopilot pick?

Autopilot works from your matches, best match first. A role has to clear your minimum match score, which is 70% unless you change it (you can set anything from 50% to 97%). If no match qualifies, Autopilot waits; it never lowers your minimum.

It also skips a role when:

• it doesn't fit your role, work style, or location preferences;
• it's at a company, in a place, or at a job level you chose to skip, or below your minimum salary if you set one;
• you've already applied to it, or it's at your current employer;
• Autopilot has already sent 3 applications to that employer in the last 30 days;
• the employer's form isn't on one of the systems Autopilot applies on: Greenhouse, Ashby, Workday, SmartRecruiters, and iCIMS. Those roles stay in Matches for you to apply to with one tap.

Your preferences are checked again just before each application is submitted.

How often does Autopilot send?

Autopilot looks for new picks every hour and sends between 13:00 and 24:00 UTC, the US morning to evening. It spreads your allowance across the month instead of using it up in the first few days. Apply and Autopilot share one allowance, 50 a month on Pro and 300 on Dreamer, which resets on the 1st of each month (UTC). What counts as an application.

Does Autopilot ask before each application?

No. Turning Autopilot on gives Dreamwork permission to apply to matching roles for you. It sends on its own even when your Apply button is set to Review first. If you want to read every application before it goes, leave Autopilot off and use Review first.

How do I know what Autopilot sent?

Every application Autopilot sends shows up on your Dashboard, and Dreamwork emails you what went out, one email per application or a daily summary. You can switch between the two, or turn the emails off, in your notification settings. The emails list sent applications only. An application that fails shows its status on your Dashboard instead; what happens when a submission fails.

What happens when I pause Autopilot?

It stops picking roles. Roles it picked but hasn't submitted yet are stopped too: they don't count against your plan, and they stay on your Dashboard as saved drafts you can still send yourself. An application that was already being submitted when you paused can still go through. Your settings are kept for when you turn it back on.

Which plans include Autopilot?

Pro and Dreamer. On the Free plan, Autopilot doesn't send. On the free plan you apply yourself: each job links to the employer's own application page, with your resume and cover letter ready. You can try auto-apply free for 7 days (Pro trial; card required, cancel before it ends and you aren't charged).
