I understand why you got that impression.

We've automated the technical skills part of it. Hiring at Instacart isn't a completely automated, no personal interaction, process.

In between the candidate applying and the technical challenges is usually a phone call where we talk to the candidate to make sure we're on the same page. We find out what their goals are and if we can help. We explain how we work, and see if they'll like it. We explain the hiring process. We answer questions they have about us.

If we're both happy at the end of the call then we move them into the automated process.

What do you learn in an 8 hour process that you couldn't learn in a 4 hour process?
