I think online skill tests are useful, but I think to truly show the quality of a user, it would be best to look at their portfolio and the types of projects that the user worked on. Some people may score great on tests, but cannot apply the skills to practical programming, while others, who are superb at their skill, do not perform on tests.
Also, there is no substitute for a good old fashioned interview to get a judge of character and how that user will do on your project. A user may be skilled but may lack the drive to get the project done on time or close to on time in a quality manner.
