Why bother giving a take-home test if you don't trust the results?
You can have one-way trust in a take-home. If they don't meet your quality bar, you can discard the resume. And it takes near zero work on the company's part, that's why so many companies like it.
However, some people will just get a lot of help on the take-home. So it isn't fair to the other applicants if you treat a take-home as anything other than a filter.
