I made a similar change in my last role and it was a great experience. The big difference is that I took about 30 minutes and also asked a bit about work on their resume to check basic things like whether their work had actually been deployed and used, awareness of user impact, double checking technical experience, etc.

The biggest benefit of taking more ownership of your own hiring pipelines is that you can use the results of each stage to improve the others. If many fail the formal tech assessment, you can dive into more tech in the screen or adjust the minimum qualifications. If candidates are rude in the full loop, you can check for that earlier. Or if most candidates pass the full loop, you can loosen up on earlier stages or reduce the loop
