If that’s what you’re selecting for - fine. You’d be missing out on people who need to care for kids or other relatives and on people who assume that a company that requires you to invest significant unpaid time on top of the regular interviews is just not worth it.
Even “experienced job seekers” might have the time to do 1 or 2 of these “tests”, but typically you’d apply to more than 1 or 2 companies while looking for a job.
