So is the problem interviewing or is the problem cargo culting?
You dont get magically good at hiring because you are the manager or lead engineer, just like anyone else you have to practice and build skills towards this.
Dumping it on any level of engineer (or person) without education and training on how to conduct interviews will not yield good results.
There's a difference between "we are scaling this wrong" and "nobody knows how to do this thing" and "only the top boss should do this thing."
Some sr eng are great at team leading through interpersonal skills on top of technical, some are so good technically they lead their teams anyway, and I dont want the second group interviewing almost anyone.
