Here is idea for you, aspiring recruiter - you want great engineers to interview? Pay them $150/hour to work on your github repo that you want to use in interview.

Everyone wins - engineers don’t get their time wasted, and interviewing companies are quite interested in not to waste theirs.

I addressed this in another comment, but just to respond to you: we've done test interviews where we paid candidates $80 and hour. The expense works into our model so I would anticipate seeing some form of that in the future.
This is essentially how Wordpress does interviews. It’s the best process I’ve seen.
