Founders: how involved are you in decisions to interview or hire?

posts by @anett   and @bwilde  seem to indicate a separation between hiring and job (i.e. hiring authority is not part of (i) the community with which the job will engage or (ii) not part of the interview process at all.)

My question’s intents: 
- is this a feature or a bug? 
- is it a consequence of delegation and you would be more involved if you could? 
- is hiring a low priority such that you’re time
is not invested there?

Occam’s Razor indicates this is a feature and the rejected are not suitable for the jobs to which they applied….but I think there’s more friction in hiring than is perceived. Hence the question.

(anecdotally, this matches my experience almost exactly: little or no interaction with the team you’re applying to work with and absolute opacity as to process.)

This is exactly what happened to me. Authorities grading candidate performance have no expertise on the skillset/ area of candidates work but they have some expectations unrelated to role itself they judge the candidate based on
