Based on previous WSO threads, here are some insights on headhunters and recruiting experiences for London off-cycles:

1. Headhunter Reviews:

   • CPI: Known for an incredible client list across MM/UMM buyout. They have secured several interviews for candidates.
   • Henkel: Heavier on the MFs than CPI, but also provided several interview opportunities.
   • SG Partners: Described as disorganized/spammy with outreach but still offered solid opportunities at brand name funds.
   • Amity: Highlight clients include Centerbridge and Bain, with strong MM funds as well.
   • Ratio: Known for Apollo and a solid list of MMs.

2. General Advice for London Applicants:

   • Listen to London-centric sources: It's crucial to use advice and resources specific to London recruiting rather than US-centric ones.
   • Networking and Preparation: Building a solid foundation of work experience and networking with associates across the street is essential. Preparing thoroughly for technicals and model tests is also critical.

3. Off-Cycle Recruiting Stories:

   • Timing and Preparation: It's recommended not to wait two years to recruit. Instead, build a solid foundation in the first year and use the remaining analyst year to fully commit to recruiting.
   • Deal Experience: Having deal experience and being able to speak to it during interviews is important.

If you have specific names or further details about Dartmouth recruiters, it might be helpful to share them in the WSO forums for more targeted advice.
