I think taking interviews is a task/job in itself it is not a side job that one can do with their main work. What do you think?
You are absolutely correct that interviewing is a significant task. Consider that you want to do both a bit of homework for the specific candidate but also acclimate to the process. Then you need to synthesize that interview as well as give feedback. That can be a lot of context shifting.
If you are finding that this is impacting your sense of "am I getting my other work done?" check with your supervisor. Work the make sure that as you spend time interviewing they know that your other capacity will go down. That also assumes you have a manager that's not trying to squeeze ever ounce of "productivity" out of you.
