Do analysts send candidates names around even when they don't ask for referral to another analyst? Had a call the other day and an analyst mentioned how he heard I spoke to someone else by name. I didn't ask that analyst for a reference and didn't connect on linkedin with them. What back door action am I missing.

After chatting with analysts, assuming the call goes well, do they usually refer you? What does that process look like/how much impact does it have?
