There is a certification program that requires you to pass some exams on
Tru64.  It used to be called the Compaq ASE program, but I'm not sure
what HP renamed it to.  It is a little drastic to require certification,
but it isn't that uncommon to expect that engineers maintain some level
of industry-standard certification.

Most skills assessments are command recall based (If you can remember the
command, you do well on the assessment).  For a true assessment, make up a
few UNIX based projects for them to do (Write a script, etc...).  This way
you can tell if they have real-world knowledge or just book knowledge.

"BrainBench" will do for general Unix.  Re evaluating skills, but not Tru64
specific.  Korn, Perl, and specific other Unix's available.
Thanks to all that replied.

Subject: Unix skills assessment ?
Hi all
I need to do skills assessment for current and new employees.  Does anyone
know of online questionnaire, or similar papers. 
Topics:
General Unix {File permissions, cp, mv, lp, adducer, tar, cpio, ftp, dns, run
levels, man, etc}
Tru64 specific
Trucluster
Korn shell script
etc.
The only site I recalled was "BrainBench", but only shell script and Unix
general.  
Thanks in advance.
Hannes
