Thanks for the replies everyone.
As I said this was not MY interview.
As for not doing reference checks, this is a case where the company is very good. It's very difficult to get on with this company when people get a position they rarely leave, so just getting an interview is a good sign.
The posting closed, and a day of interviews were set up within days (on a Friday). Then applicants were told they would be contacted on Monday. This just doesn't leave any time to contact references.
