When hiring people, do you do the interview?

[Lana]

When you plan to hire someone on, do you like to handle the interview process yourself? Or do you have someone else do the interview? I think if I were to hire anyone, I would want to do the interview myself so I know exactly what to expect from the person I plan to hire. 

Do you like to do the interview yourself? Or have someone else on staff do it?

I have whoever is going to be supervising the person do the interview. Since the only person I am going to hold accountable for something is the leader of a process. So they get to choose their team.

Yeah, usually the boss man wouldn't be handling the interview process. Usually it will be someone under him/her or some kind of hiring manager. But, if you're self employed for example, and hire someone that way, it works a bit differently. I imagine you would interview them at that point, but if you have other employees, you may be able to get one of them to do it if it's within their job scope.

I wouldn't want to, not unless it was such a small business that it was just me! If I were to have one going, I would have someone a step below me in the company to handle this kind of thing and make the best judgement calls.
