> if one candidate is willing to do more work ... that's one person showing they are willing to put more effort into a job than another
I'm not happy with this logic. It's harmful. If you extend it further, it motivates everybody to work more hours too.
"If a person is willing to put more effort into a job than another let him do that! Oh and by the way, let's fire those who are not and hire those who are".
And we're back to 12+ hour work day and a lot of great specialists are out of their jobs or forced to sacrifice their time with families, friends, hobbies, physical activities, etc.
There are ways to conduct interviews without whiteboarding AND without take home assignments.
