It's a part of hiring someone to have them send in a resume and verify that they have the skills needed to do the job. I contest that it is not fair to disqualify candidates because they cannot meet arbitrary and unreasonable demands for their time. A phone interview is almost always reasonable. A 10 hour work sample due this week would often be unreasonable. It depends a lot on context and conanbatt discarded that.
