SM / MM hedge fund recruiting from PE
Coming up on two years at a NYC megafund and am exploring the idea of working in public markets. Obviously went through the whole PE associate recruiting process (off cycle), but much less familiar with how hedge fund recruiting works coming from PE. If anyone has info on the below it would be greatly appreciated:
1. What are headhunter intros like? Are they generally the same as PE associate recruiting? (tell me about yourself, why HF, walk me through a deal, etc.) Would they ask for a trade idea in an intro call? Are these typically more casual than PE associate recruiting? How much power do the headhunters hold?
2. What are timelines like? Months? Weeks?
3. Are actual interviews technical or more thinking-based? Obviously have heard that a pitch / Trade idea is the most important part but is this structured as a conversation or a full blown case study and presentation like in PE?
4. Are there model tests? Aptitude tests?
Really don’t know too much about the above and couldnt find much online so any info would be immensely helpful!

I had a PE background and went 1 for 1 in a process that took a few weeks where I just DM’d a fund that looked cool and asked for a job
