I'm not sure where this started, but it looks to me like both 
sides are either arguing for the extreme, or accusing the other of
arguing for the extreme.

Let's go for a middle ground here, hey? Something like 'companies
are entitled to have trustworthy employees, and employees are entitled
to have trustworthy companies'

And maybe then start arguing about what to do when an employee/company
proves untrustworthy.

Bull Feathers. :)

You've seen a resume and read a handful of references. This hardly 
qualifies the person as no longer a stranger. My parents run a small
business - it's HARD, bringing in a new staff member.

New Zealand is hardly a country with lax labour laws!
