> If the qualifications on their resume fit your requirements, just bring them in! It's not uncommon for there to be a huge mismatch between what the resume says and how the candidate interviews. Especially since it's well-known that resumes are programmatically screened nowadays, candidates feel pressured to play buzzword bingo with their resumes. A quick phone screen or take-home is far more humane than bringing them on-site for 6 hours and having them flail miserably in the interview because of the resume problem. I also don't see how they could nail an on-site interview but fail a phone screen. It seems like the skillset there is roughly equivalent, regardless of whether you agree with that skillset being indicative of on-the-job performance.
