An interactive whiteboard / live coding session is by far greater than any homework assignment, in my opinion.
W/ an interactive session, you get instant feedback (either verbally or via emotional cues) into what they are expecting.
With a homework assignment, it's hard to determine which path to optimize for.
If a homework assignment is necessary, it would be better if that were more of a "probationary employment" type scenario, perhaps at a very reduced amount of pay, to only imply that both parties actually have skin in the game.
Even better, for helping me judge if it's a decent fit? Show me some code you're using in production so that I can code review it on the call. Surely it's not all hyper sensitive.
