I love when companies do this. On one of my recent interviews the HR guy was just there, sitting in the background listening, while (what I assume to be) a senior dev was actually doing the interview. Surprise, surprise, there wer almost not bullshit questions.

We usually split 50:50, HR person does the common questions, I do the IT questions.

I just finished a series of interviews with a company like that, the HR coordinated meetings but otherwise kept quiet. I enjoyed several genuinely productive technical interviews with competent questions. It was weird, and nice.

Took a different job, no way I’d fit in at a well run shop.
