Okay, if you're involved in hiring people, you probably aren't a grunt. If your grunts are doing your hiring, your company has major problems.

Not necessarily. I've worked with a couple different companies that have their programmers chat for a while with applicants before hiring them. Company gets more data about what the applicant knows, applicant gets a more realistic view of the company, and both sides get more of a sense for personal fit. Everybody wins.
