Screening Guide

15-minute phone screen. Click any question to see context and what to listen for.
LOOK FOR
Prior delivery, retail, or service role history. Longevity at previous jobs is a strong signal. Candidates don't need prior delivery experience — look for reliability, professionalism, and a service mindset.
LOOK FOR
Answers that mention timeliness, communication, politeness, and accuracy. Avoid candidates who seem indifferent to the customer experience — this is a direct customer-facing role.
MUST CONFIRM
This is a hard operational requirement. Schedules vary by demand, but evening and weekend availability is non-negotiable. Confirm flexibility clearly upfront to avoid attrition.
MUST CONFIRM
Verify they understand the license/record requirement. Also probe for comfort with rain, heavy traffic, and nighttime driving — all common in Hampton Roads.
MUST CONFIRM
A ride-share addendum/endorsement is required before the first shift. Many standard personal auto policies exclude commercial use — the endorsement closes that gap. If a candidate isn't sure, advise them to call their insurer before moving forward.
LOOK FOR
Dashers operate in the field without a manager on-site. Strong candidates demonstrate self-direction, comfort with solo decision-making, and the ability to problem-solve in the moment.
LOOK FOR
Couriers use the DoorDash Courier app and a payroll app every shift. Basic smartphone proficiency is required. If hesitant, ask follow-up questions about their current phone usage.
MUST CONFIRM
Be transparent about the seasonal/temporary nature of the role. Candidates who need long-term stability may not be the right fit. Candidates who want consistent income for a defined period are ideal.
