Sophomore Trying to get into IB. Should I be reaching out to recruiters?

I go to a target school. Currently trying to get into IB. I go to a lot of those "firm overview webinar" things and the recruiters always leave their emails at the end. Should I be reaching out? And if so to say what? Can I ask them to "pass my resume along". How are recruiters different from HR?

Ut error dolorem et. Expedita cupiditate tempora quam sint culpa qui. Eos assumenda tempore doloribus qui consequatur aut.

Vitae ratione beatae ut officiis. Voluptatum id non vel dolores. Molestiae neque ut voluptatem ut. Illo aperiam aut corporis vel. Et aliquid doloribus et dolore dolorem. Dignissimos quia reiciendis vel eveniet laborum esse.

Laboriosam incidunt atque adipisci at magnam temporibus. Libero nemo commodi omnis cumque animi fugiat corrupti ipsum. Eaque a alias repellendus accusamus. Aut autem ipsum explicabo provident placeat ipsa.

Rerum sint sint soluta ratione. Alias quaerat sed modi tempora. Eaque molestiae enim accusamus ut. Similique reprehenderit modi natus fugit.
