I think different interviewers may have different motives for asking this question. I am an employer of over 300 people and conduct interviews myself sometimes. Because of the type of business I head, I prefer employing new staff that are recommended by trusted current members of staff. When I ask the question, it is aimed at getting to know who referred the potential employee. In almost every recruiting process, you will be spoiled by choices so referral by a trusted aide of the Director or management staff may give you an edge. This I can say for my company which is a relatively small/medium scale private company where staff can be entrusted with some cash everyday. So trust is almost as important as competence. In larger companies, the motive may be different.
