>a candidate’s willingness to invest time and effort
I guess it's a matter of opinion but my point is, this is probably the right metric. Arguably, the kind of people who shut up and play along with these stupid games because that's where the money is make better team players in large for-profit organizations than those who take a principled stance against ever touching Leetcode because their efforts wouldn't contribute anything to the art.
Maybe yes maybe not, I'm leaning not but it's just an opinion. But as a company be careful what you wish for, these same candidates are often skilled at gaming systems and may leave your team as soon as they've extracted the benefits. They’re likely more interested in playing the game than in seriously solving real-world problems.
