For developers, we give them a code test which our engineers then evaluate and decide if we want to move forward. Is the code semantic? succinct? will it work? etc.
For designers, I usually examine their portfolio, have them talk through their processes, discuss timelines, etc. One time I did have a designer lay out a webpage; however, I provided all images and content, and explained that I'd never use their work. I just wanted to see how fast they ideated (which I'm not convinced really showed me anything in the end - I wouldn't handle it that way again... I guess I was young when hiring my first team).
In NYC, all jobs are "at will" meaning you can be fired or leave at any time, for any reason, without notice. The fact they are asking for so much work, being so specific and want this so fast raises a shit-ton of red flags.
