Test model for new hire

in General
I am looking to hire someone and I would like to find a test model which I can have them model to gauge their skills in a few areas. I don't want something that will take many hours to model, but I want something which does require some intermediate skills. I also want to stay away from models with features that are Onshape-specific since they would probably not know Onshape and it's more of a general test of parametric modeling and to see some of their workflows.
Some of the skillsets that would be nice to test are:
Basic solid modelling
Surfacing
Attention to detail
Creativity
Solution generation (Like if a dimension is hard to calculate and the answer is somewhere unexpected??)
I hope I can find something good which can help me set a benchmark on what they know and what areas may need improvement.

I like this one https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/9426/another-design-contest/p1
It is simple, but seem more simple that it really is.
Or you could try with this one https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/40998#Comment_40998
But as you mentioned you should see their workflows and how the information is organized.
Bottom line, I recomend to create that model https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/9426/another-design-contest/p1 , add some simple parts in the key slots in an assembly add properties, material etc. and create all the drawings. That could take 1 hour plus minus.

for our company it will focus on:
- weldments
- configurations
- sheet-metal
- laser/plasma
- 2.5 axis CNC
- lathe
other companies may want skills that have no grounds in what we do:
- 3d printing
- surfacing
- plastic injection
- tool/die
- wood work / furnature
These all take a uniquely developed skill, and can change how you need to think and model completely.
What we do is give them a small project and put them to the test. They can ask any questions they want, and we walk them through a similar project so they can get a feel for "our way"
