HF recruiting timing

Is HF recruiting similar to PE in the following:

  • Structured on-cycle vs off-cycle

  • Typically have to recruit prior to Associate promotion

There are a lot of posts on here regarding recruiting for PE; however, I am not as familiar with the HF recruiting process. Any information on the typical process and timing would be helpful.
