Firstly, I applaud that you are upfront about compensation early. I think that definitely deserves an accolade.

However, asking that candidates donate 1-2 days of their time (probably burning PTO at their current gig) just to have a chance at an offer? That's a very unbalanced risk/reward for the company vs the candidate.

Maybe you pay candidates for their 1-2 days of interview time + comp PTO for time spent if they get the gig?
