HF Exit Recruiting For 2025 Grads

I have internship experience at a $3bn L/S primarily working within biotech and industrials. I did a SA IB role last summer and graduate in May w/ a FT IB role lined up. I am wondering what recruiting looks like for HFs? What is the timeline? How does it compare to PE on cycle timing? Thanks!
