I'm a week late to the Comment party but as an engineer who crossed over to the dark side into leading all aspects of recruiting - especially technical, but here's the one question that everyone might want to ask at the beginning of the interview process:
Do you have an assessment rubric and has every interviewer been adequately trained on how to use it?
Okay there's another question if they answer yes:
Will you be sharing this with me?
.
I know, I know - no rubric is perfect but it's still far better than "feelings"...
If you're feeling extra bold โ and as engineers, I know you are โ also ask for the 3-5 most important criteria that go into the final hire/don't hire decision.

Spot on.
I frequently tell people to remember it's just another human on the other side of the table and they probably weren't trained to interview. ๐คฃ
