Make it a paid project, and it at least partially addresses the sibling comment's (valid, IMO) complaint that it filters out candidates that are otherwise in high demand.
It would also provide a significant signal regarding valuing the candidate's time and effort [1], which would comply with the suggestion of another comment elsewhere in the thread.
