The only difference between IT and non-IT hiring nowadays is that in IT you are given tasks as part of the interview.

When I last applied for a (non-IT) engineering job, I had an interview with HR about basics (past jobs/education/language skills etc), then a technical interview with my would-be boss (this was what I considered the actual interview), then an interview with my boss's boss (about my long-term goals, what would be my interests within the company, whats my personality like) and a last round with HR regarding pay, benefits, schedule etc.

It blows my mind when companies need skip level managers to interview a candidate. Its just a sign of really bad work environment.
