To be fair, the earlier in the process you can disqualify a bad candidate, the less money and time you waste. It's generally positive to re-assess the pre-employment screening when it fails to do it's job.

That said, making the process worse for your good candidates is a horrible solution.

I feel for that employer, but making the application process more onerous would be a red flag for me, as a candidate.

They are going to potentially hurt themselves if not careful.
