> Personally if I'm hiring someone I've already worked with, I don't do any interview.
Whenever one of my former coworkers would come in for an interview, I would recuse myself from the loop. I figured it would be a waste of time for everyone and I would have an undue influence on the process, especially since they already knew I approved. I would ask to be put at the very end of the loop and then just ask the person if they had any questions about the people they talked to or anything the learned about the company that day that concerned them.
If they were just a friend who I had never actually worked with, I would interview them like normal but would still ask to be near the end so they could ask me better questions during the Q&A.
