This is the kind of attitude that leads to bad hiring outcomes. It is guaranteed to be screening out classes of people, like single parents, candidates who may have a full time job as they are finishing their school work, people who care for elderly parents, people with families, etc. Heck, anyone who's going through a crunch time at their work would also probably be unable to do this. You might as well say that your company has a terrible work-life balance and we only hire people willing to destroy their health for us. Maybe that's what some companies want, but I don't think a company can grow only hiring like that. Even the article said that by changing their test they wound up getting stronger candidates. It is clear that this kind of process does not produce the best candidates.
