Senior associate / junior analyst job market

What is the market like for lateral hires of LO research associates with 1-2 years of experience? How much demand is there for people of this background, what kinds of funds are looking (ie LO or L/S), what type of role would you be expected to fill, and what does the recruiting process look like? TIA
