Best hires: people referred by current (good) employees.
Next best: people with good references.
If you have either of the above, you'd have to really blow the interview. I've never done "blind" reference checks; it's surprising how many employers don't check references at all and base everything on the interview and maybe a few "gotcha" puzzles or coding tests.
