How to ask for referral? (best practices) SA 2023

Hi, I have had a number of networking calls, but no one seems to be saying "let me refer you" or "talk to ____" like it was suggested in previous posts.

At the end of the chat I always ask where the recruitment process is at, but I was wondering if I need to be more direct and say "is there anyone else you suggest I talk to". I just don't want it to seem like I am using them as a connection to someone else.

To all students recruiting for SA 2023, what do you guys do? Thanks!
