I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Instacart (Atlanta, GA) in Jun 2018
Interview
The interview process was casual. The interview took place at a local grocery store chain. I was given a brief description of what my day would look like if hired, then instructed to download the INSTACART APP on my personal cell phone, log into the shopper interface and use the training module. For the final part of the interview I took a test on my knowledge of a grocery store, the layout, what isles to find the products I'm looking for and how quickly and accurately I shop. I was given a list of 3 items an imaginary customer requested. I was timed attempting to locate all the items on the list. I used my phone with the Instacart app to scan the barcode of each item. If the item was out of stock, I searched for an approved alternate item if indicated, or note in the app, that the item(s) unavailable and then return back to the interview table within 3 minutes.

Question 1
I was asked if I read food labels and understood the different sizes and weights. They also asked if I knew the difference between an organic product and one not marked organic.
The only interview is when you fill out the online application about your criminal and driving history. There isn't a phone interview and there isn't an in person interview. A background check is done, and for me I had to be on the wait list for at least 4 to 6 months before a spit opened up for me. So that was a huge downside.

Question 1
I think a question that was asked was "Have you had any driving convictions?"
The interview process was pretty easy. You'll be asked a few questions, and you'll be timed while looking for an item in the grocery store. Easy process all and all.

Interview
One nice thing is there’s no interview. You will have a background check, you’ll need to provide your drivers license information and picture. You’ll also be prompted periodically to submit a picture of yourself, which must match your DL picture. These requests come randomly and you must use their software to submit your picture. You will not be able to do another order until you submit your photo.

There were no questions I can think of. You will take a CBT and take a short quiz and pass.
