Headhunters and email addresses

Starting out in ib and interested in potentially going down the PE route.

This may be a dumb question, but how do headhunters for these firms find the email addresses for the analysts at various BBs/EBs. Is it just through LinkedIn? If so, what should I do if my firm email address is different than the name on my LinkedIn (as in I go by my middle name, but my email address uses my legal first name that nobody knows me by)? Thanks
