All code I wrote during my 12 YoE is a property of a company. And obviously I don’t even have access to it.
With this type of interview you rule out a LOT of people, and only keep in the pool who either works on open source, or do great projects in their free time.
If that’s the intention, do it. But otherwise I don’t think it’s a good idea.
I think a _ WELL PAID_ take home project is much better way to interview people.
(Saying all this from the interviewee perspective)
