Why do people agree to this? An hour assignment after speaking with someone is one thing, biut I had a couple of companies ask for homework before meeting anyone. Just didn't respond. Teach them it's not OK.

Some people are desperate for employment.

Exactly. I was unemployed for several months and once the desperation kicked in, I would have done anything to get a job.
