    I think it's not a huge deal either way, in fact Google sends folks my way simply because they crawl the resume and have a system which figures out which current Googlers overlapped with the candidate in the past. However there is more value in providing fewer references and giving them the heads-up that you mentioned them, I think their reference would have more weight if you mention them to the recruiter. But even then, I don't know how much weight references had in general and I'm guessing not that much relative to your performance on that day.

  • References are usually professional references youโ€™ve worked with. Unless Iโ€™m missing something, Iโ€™d be surprised if they were asking you to provide 5 references that work(ed) at Google.
