Here's the problem we are trying to solve for. Filter from 2500+ applicants. What would you suggest. And we do not want to rely on credentialing and leetcode filters. What non-garbage tests would you suggest? Please note that we are talking about an initial test that's generous enough in error, but not so much so that we end up with 1000 people to seriously interview.

I honestly suggest YOU put in the work to filter the applications instead of trying to get the applicants to do it. You will lose confident candidates otherwise. I sure as hell would quit halfway through and find other options. IMHO you risk getting more “desperate” candidates by requiring them to answer all these questions. I understand your motivation 100%. My company also gets at least 10x as many applications now compared to before ChatGPT, and by far most are garbage. This is OUR problem though, not the applicants'!

There is an answer, but I 100% believe you wont like it, nor implement. Do video interviews, or better yet, in-person interviews. Ask questions there. Request sharing desktop, and share if you ask LLMs and your strategy in doing so. Academics are dealing with the same problem, with "do they know the material or is it an LLM?". Universities also have access to a potent tool: oral examination. Its also the hardest to implement due to time and 1:1 labor. The answer's right there.
