What to do with HR contact info?

Hey everyone,

I've spoken to several people at a firm and they have all given me contact information to recruiters.
Can someone please provide some advice on what would be the best approach to contacting them and what to write in the emails? I'm also not sure if I should first apply and then send them an email, or first reach out expressing interest in the firm?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Reach out saying X referred you. Restate your strong interest for the firm. Ask a question or two about the analyst program. You'll most likely get an interview especially with several people referring you to HR.

Thanks for the advice! Forgot to mention this was for SA recruiting, but I don't think that changes much.
