My co-worker once found that someone had posted the take home problem on one of those freelance job sites. Needless to say we didn't move forward with the candidate.

If they can get the take home problem solved for a reasonable cost and in short time on the freelance job site, hire them as a manager.
I'd even say: if they can get the problem solved for less than their salary and in reasonable time, hire them anyway - you're hiring them to solve programming problems, not to type them.
