Dribbble deployed a Recommendations feature that automatically suggests additional designers to clients after they contact one designer, matching candidates based on the content of the client's project request, ratings, budget fit, and availability.
Details
Launched in July 2025 and expanded in September 2025, the Recommendations feature analyzes the text of a client's project request and surfaces additional designers who are relevant to the project, highly rated, within the client's budget, and currently available. Initially showing three additional designers, the feature was expanded to six by September 2025. Only Pro-tier designers are included in recommendations. A related feature called InstantMatch, launched in September 2025, allows clients to describe their project needs and receive an immediate curated list of matched designers, ranked by responsiveness, ratings, past projects on Dribbble, and lead conversion rate.
