Homework is going to put a bunch of candidates off unless its a short amount of time (~5 hrs) and as an alternative to taking time off of work to go do an in person interview.

I know one guy who did 30 hours total of interview investment, where a bunch of it was homework and was eventually not hired because he wasn't 'passionate' enough about payroll software! You don't want to waste your time doing such shit so you quickly start refusing long homework projects. Your in demand and you have better things to do with your time.
