What are the legitimate search firms for private equity placements?

I received emails from Henkel Search Partners and BellCast Partners, and I have no idea if they're legitimate or equivalent to Pinpoint. Not trying to flex here (zero idea if it's even a flex haha), just want to know if they're a waste of time or not
