This seems decent, except for the “submit some code you’re proud of“ part. What about applicants whose only jobs have been on proprietary code they can’t share? This is the same problem as using GitHub resumés: it’s kind of unfairly biased against people who either don’t work on open source projects, or like to have a life outside of coding when they’re not on the job.

That sounds like a good case for paying someone to do a project for you (if they're employed, give them an 'hours' budget over a longer 'days' or 'weeks' period). Then you'd have something to look at that they just built, fresh.
