A second thought I had is also that timed responses might be beneficial for the hiring organization. This could be because of two reasons. First, at work, you do not have 4 hours to polish an email to a potential donor. You have 10 minutes because you have a mountain of other important things to do. As such, having a strictly timed assessment is likely to give a more realistic view of the expected performance on the job. Secondly, timed responses will also make for a more apples-to-apples comparison, where you are more likely to select the best candidates instead of the candidates with the most time and/or the largest network of educated family and friends willing to help out polish responses.
