Yes. This appears to be massively exploitative. They should never get to the point of hire if they're too unqualified to be paid.

I happen to agree but I have no say in this. If it mitigates this at all, the trial assignment is not actual work. It's been solved many times and the candidates who are good do it in 2 days, not much different than the time it takes to do an extensive round of interviews.
