Why are you having people do some sort of CTF challenge to even apply?

we get a lot of volume and this helps us quickly identify people that are a) strongly motivated and b) strong candidates

But you also deter the strongest candidates because you are not considerate of their time which also gives the wrong impression of the culture at Ramp. Requiring a challenge that could take x amount of hours to complete on a very slim chance that person would get hired is very inconsiderate. There is no incentive. Not everyone who is looking for a job is straight out of college, unmarried and/or don't have other responsibilities. Just because a candidate chooses not to do this challenge doesn’t mean that person wouldn’t be “strongly motivated” or a “strong candidate” to work for you. That’s why proper interview processes exist to sort out those individuals. If you want to limit the amount of “volume”, I would suggest considering other methods or not hire at all. I would assume that the fact I see job postings everywhere for Ramp, including here, and the fact that you require this challenge, must mean you are getting little “volume” of applicants.
