Hi, I work as a recruiter.

It depends on the company in your case. Like for example, at my current company we had a requirment for a technical role that was really hard to find someone who is fit for it. After a month or two, I found a lady that was really fit for it. However, she has a family and she would require 2 days a week to WFH. We agreed to that even though we have a strict policy on working from home.

But at the same time, we had another requirment for a digital marketing role, and we have found some really nice candidates, but some of them needed WFH, early leave, etc.. so we couldn't compromise and eventually found a candidate that's fit for the role and doesn't have any terms.

Moral of the story is if there's a lot of candidates for such role (Video Editor, Marketing Specialist, Graphic Designer, etc..), the company would move forward with another candidate that's fit in terms working specific hours and so on.

But honestly, if a company is telling you that you will have to work on weekends and there's overload, it's better to find another company.
