Hi I just looked at your site. I found this very odd.

RESPECT YOUR CANDIDATES Strictly timeboxed tasks ensure candidates don't feel pressured to devote silly amounts of time to interview coding exercises.

The biggest issue I've found as an dev looking for work is that, employers often want a full functioning, production grade, api, with tests, and some integration tests. These requirements cause the issues, and timeboxing would surely compound them?

I guess there's a learning curve for the potential employer, but as an employee I wouldn't want to potentially be a guinea pig while they get their act together when understanding how long a task should actually take.
