There might be a cost issue. Employers will see the PhD as raising salary expectations without adding value. The only real way to make inroads is to get a job related to your PhD and then do coding work.
Typical interview for higher jobs aren't focused on tests or quizzes. If that's what your getting your not applying to the right places - and there might not be many places.

It could be true in some fields (biotech and life sciences, pharma/chemistry, "real" engineering, ...) but in math/CS? Most companies hire PhD grads at one job grade/level above entry-level, i.e. it's typically not worth much more than a ~2 years head start salary-wise. If a candidate has spent 4/5 years gaining experience in the specific skill set you're hiring for, that's a bargain.
