I would be the one hiring, replacing you in this made up scenario. Regardless of the position you are hiring for you would hire me under your process because I can talk your ear off for hours and can outsource the take home. My point is I shouldn't have to have such unrelated skills.

You know that I use take home to ask for modifications on the spot during technical interview. First hour is soft talk to see if there is any communication issue, then you go home do take home, if you don’t like us you don’t have to do the take home.

If someone is reluctant to do changes in his own code it is a no go for me.

Main point of take home I give is so that candidate has his own code to modify while we are on the second round, not to waste time and stress people with something they didn’t wrote/know.

Which is why all of the biggest tech companies does on site technical tests.

For the biggest tech companies you spend time practicing leetcode. I don't know if that's any better.
