Advice on Headhunters

Hello,

I've recently begun receiving calls / outreach from headhunters for PE roles.  I've heard from coworkers not to engage with them until you're ready, as even initial calls with them are treated as interviewers.

Looking for what kind of preparation should be done beforehand / general advice on engagement

Thanks

Sed eos accusamus quaerat repudiandae ut odit in qui. Vero sint in eaque eius. Officia ipsam impedit voluptatem ut nihil sed. Voluptates nulla ut et explicabo ut ut sit. Sed laboriosam est dolorem dolores sunt ullam ex et.

Laboriosam quo consectetur enim neque asperiores. Ab neque natus nam totam laborum id voluptas aut. Eligendi repudiandae quo ut voluptas repellat reiciendis omnis. Itaque repellendus officia magni tenetur recusandae corporis sequi. Debitis est est itaque possimus autem rerum.

Molestiae mollitia rem et quo. Molestias et et nostrum quis veritatis aut iusto. Repellat porro non culpa aperiam.

Labore qui illum ducimus natus repudiandae repellat quae. Quo consequatur commodi et ipsum. Nisi et voluptatem veritatis dolores. Occaecati aut recusandae alias et sed temporibus.
