One benefit of making the timeframe short, is that the candidate isn't pressured into spending way too much time on it. You may say that they should only spend 2 hours, but in reality, someone who wants to make a good impression is going to spend far more.
That said, I agree that weekends might not be the best for all candidates. Maybe tailor it to the individual case (E.g. ask them beforehand if weekends work, or they'd rather do it during the week)
- robalfonso 11y agoWe usually have a take home quiz/test, it usually takes one hour or so to complete, and gives us a shot at seeing how one approaches certain problems. I once had a guy that built a whole web based suite that acted like a tour, took us through each problem and then ran the code and spit out the result and also showed the code running in the test in a syntax highlighted view. WAY over the top and took way longer then an hour, we hired him though :)
