> many companies have been burned before by seniors who weren’t senior - so in my experience they usually do ask for a resume and an interview just like an employee.
You mean you've been asked for a resume? Never happened with me when working for small to large companies. Isn't part of it that there's more commitment to taking on an employee and employees are harder to get rid vs a contractor?
It feels more like hiring a kitchen installer or a plumber. You look at their past work and testimonials, assume they can do what they say, and maybe ask or look at what options you have if it doesn't work out in the worst case, but you wouldn't ask for a resume.
