Of course, a person could still always be a no-show on the first day.
Still, references may help you get a feel for the person's work ethic before offering the position.Where are those unemployed folks who want to really work?

Interviews are one of the least valid selection mechanisms available to an employer, however, I wouldn't usually hire someone without one. Personality metrics, job samples, and references (not chosen by the applicant) will probably give you a more valid measure of whether the person is going to be a good fit for your organization. Of course, it would probably be best to have done a job analysis and created a job description before implementing such procedures.
