If they didn't want to get hired, they wouldn't have applied for the job. Assuming that "I don't have code samples" is equivalent to "I don't care" is a silly assumption, and one that I've found is completely false in reality. Some of the developers I've hired have years of experience but no code samples, and after hiring them I discovered I had made the right choice. They just have other priorities on the side (children are often a big one).
