The interviewer asks this question to determine if you were recommended by one of their employees. If the employee is respected in the company, their referral of you as a quality candidate carries a lot of weight with the interviewer. If you know someone in the company, say who it is and how you know them. Studies have shown that friends or acquaintances who work together are usually more productive and have improved employee morale. If you do not know anyone who works for the company, say you do not.

If you know someone in the company but you think they might be a problem employee, answer that you are unsure of all the employees that work for the company, and you may have met some on other projects. If you answer that you know that particular employee, it might draw negative attention to yourself.

"No, I do not think I know anyone who works for your company. I may have met some of your employees on other projects, but I am not sure of anyone's name."
