I don't know of any services - video or otherwise - where you can get work "based strictly on taking a test".
My analogy is to the lamps shelf in a store, which usually includes a test socket. If those all those lamps had a sticker saying "Test me!" and you - as a customer - did it, still you wouldn't buy any more lamps than you needed, regardless of their brand (= experience, manufacturer's CV).
