HF Headhunters

I'm interestested in joining a HF after my ib stint and I was wondering what headhunters were like in the space? Who are the big names?

I'm currently based in London, but might be interested in exploring opportunities in New York. A few search firms I've seen have an option to register interest/submit a resume, is that something worth doing or are those black holes?

Thanks.
