The problem is that it is completely unrelated to the job in most cases. That may put off some decent candidates.

Right, as I said above, doesn't give you any sense of what other engineers are the company are like. Nothing wrong with algorithmic coding interviews, but it should be coupled with human interaction.

Wrong - it does. Such process in company indicates that the engineers employed there didn't mind to go through such process and don't see a problem in imposing such process on others i.e. people with volatile visa/legal situation (e.g H1B in US, American in EU, Russian/Ukrainian in EU), and probably awfully underpaid (I mean the salary range 40-50k USD in a developed EU country). Basically company is cherry picking engineers willing to engage in race to the bottom.
