PE to HF recruiting

What is HF (SM) recruiting like as a PE associate? When should I be ready to interview / Are there any materials to help me prepare? Will I be at a material disadvantage coming from a well respected/performing MM/UMM (5bn last fund size) vs a MF? Thanks and apologies for the many questions!
