I like this idea, but this specific aspect seems somewhat troubling: > "We let candidates do this work on their own time, from their own home, whenever they wanted to" I'm curious -- how do you control for someone who successfully accomplishes the coding talk, but needed 40 hours to do the work which you expected to take 4 hours? |

It becomes less of "Get this thing done by today" and more of "Get these 5 things done by the end of the week".
One developer might just leave it to the last minute or perhaps fail to deliver if they underestimate the scope of work, failing to deliver makes him more unreliable and shows he has a poor grasp on time management and needs day to day focus.
Another Developer may be more conservative with how much time they have available, but may still be working on a different wavelength in terms of day to day expectations, however at the end of the week, they deliver on time. This makes him more reliable and show that he has a good grasp on time management so far, so it shows that less day to day focus is needed on him.
