In my experience, there's little reason to do it alone. Handle whatever you can (the non tech stuff), you'll be able to narrow down a lot based on non-technica

In my experience, there's little reason to do it alone. Handle whatever you can (the non tech stuff), you'll be able to narrow down a lot based on non-technical factors (like years of experience, projects in their portfolio, etc). When you're ready for the tech screen, call in a favor from someone you trust. Ask them to spend an afternoon grilling your candidates.
