How to actually recruit for hedge funds?

Hello Chimps, 

I know a similar question is asked often but I want to hear from people that have actually made the switch 1-3 years in the sell-side. What did you do? How did you get approached if you did? What was the process like? How did you choose the firm and learn more about the team before joining? Would appreciate any insights.
