Competency tests have helped me get in the door.
That said, they seem to work best when they're part of an overall interview process. I think it's a mistake to look at only the highest scores and interview those people, they should only weed out the bottom scores and follow a more typical (do they fit? can they learn it?) process for the rest.

My impression is that coding tests either offer neutral or negative feedback during an interview. It's not like a candidate can manipulate linked lists in a way that shows particular brilliance.
