So, they're basically hiring humans to mimic the features of an IDE? Right, sounds like solid plan ...

Honestly, I have no idea why anyone would do this. What this will achieve at best is optimising for rote learning and selecting for people who are capable of writing syntactically perfect code unassistedly. This however is an unrealistic scenario during daily development work because that's - among other things - what an IDE is for.

Problem analysis, mapping requirements to code, finding solutions in a deliberate rather than haphazard manner - these actually relevant aspects of software development aren't assessed at all by such a 'process'.
