everything is done online, from the original application, to the video interview (record yourself via webcam/microphone answering 3 questions, you get two minutes to answer each question, and a short period of time to think about your answer). After passing the interview phase you then go through a background check. The entire process was really fast, I thought it would take weeks but i was accepted as a taskrabbit within 2 days. After the background check is cleared, you also must do a short quiz so you can prove you understand how being a taskrabbit works and what is expected of you.
