Handling HH Outreach

HH reached out about an opportunity that I am very interested in but candidly I just don’t feel ready to interview for it (different line of work than I’m currently doing). Is there benefit to having the call and letting them know I’m very interested in those types of opportunities but not planning to take interviews for a few months while I prepare / improve my candidacy? Or is that a trash idea and they’ll cross me off the list for future opportunities?
