Does this not reduce your pool to people who are actively looking? That excludes most people, especially the top candidates who are never out of work.

There are drawbacks and advantages to every hiring process, it's possible they've determined this set of advantages/drawbacks works best for them.

Besides, it's possible to take 2 weeks off of your current job.
