How do I turn off recruiter introductions on Dreamwork?

Turn off Recruiter introductions in Profile → Notifications. Dreamwork then stops matching your profile for recruiters and stops new introductions. It doesn't recall what was already shared.

Recruiter introductions are on unless you turn them off, and you can turn them back on anytime.

What are recruiter introductions?

Recruiters and hiring managers can search Dreamwork for people who fit a role they're hiring for. They see an anonymized summary of a matching profile, without your name, contact details, or employer names. If one wants to meet you, Dreamwork may introduce you and share your name, contact details, profile, and resume with them. You agree to this when you create an account, as the Terms of Service say, and Dreamwork may receive compensation in connection with introductions.

How do I turn them off?

  • Open your Profile and choose Notifications.
  • Under Recruiters, choose Edit beside Recruiter introductions.
  • Choose Off, then Save.

You can also ask support to turn them off for you.

What changes when they're off?

  • Recruiters searching Dreamwork no longer find your profile, including in searches they ran before you turned it off.
  • Recruiters can't ask for a new introduction to you, and Dreamwork won't make one.
  • What was already shared with a recruiter or employer isn't recalled.
  • Your applications and your email settings don't change.

Can I turn them back on?

Yes. Set Recruiter introductions back to On in the same place, and recruiters can find your anonymized profile again.
