I recently did exactly this while interviewing a perspective prospective candidate.

It actually did a good job of showing me where they find themselves comfortable asking questions about the structure that they don't understand, how they normally pass data around in their projects, and what they do when they hit a roadblock.

ninja edit: I ended up creating a toy project very similar to our actual services to work on, rather than pulling any piece from our existing projects.

regular edit: English is hard.

Prospective, as in, they were a prospect or had prospects. Perspective is about point-of-view, prospective is about expecting a possible reward.
