if you’re looking for a job during the coronavirus pandemic, Instacart has gone on a massive hiring spree. The company is looking to hire 250,000 to meet demand.

In a post on Media, Instacart said this:

One month ago, we shared our plans to bring on 300,000 additional full-service shoppers to help us meet increased customer demand we’ve seen. We quickly met that goal, and are now planning to bring on an additional 250,000 full-service shoppers in an effort to get back to same-day delivery across our platform.

The company says it will especially focus on shoppers in the following states: California, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C. and Toronto. 

Instacart shoppers will also get wellness checks in the app. The company says the app will ask shoppers a number of questions before they begin shopping.

“To help make it easier for you to monitor your health during this time, all shoppers will soon have access to a daily, in-app wellness check. This check will help you determine if you have any COVID-19 related symptoms, and give you guidance on what to do next if you have symptoms.”
