Only if they are an alumni of Bain & Co. The two companies are completely independent of each other.

No. They are different companies. Founded by the same guy, but no overlap whatsoever.

Unfortunately not.

However, if you're speaking to Bain Capital employee and they like you, it doesn't hurt to ask if they can put you in touch with someone at Bain. Playing "tag" is a great networking technique ;)

Hi,

No, they can't.

But if you have established a network in Bain Capital I'm sure you'll find alumni that could help you get a referral at Bain.

Best,

Never heard of that happening - if you really get a hold of a Bain Cap employee consider networking the hell out of him and other Bain Cap advisors and join them. Two companies are not connected - Mitt Romney might think differently about this but I am sure consulting and PE is one big family for him :)
