Do I need headhunters for IB lateral?

Graduated in May and work at a merchant bank in Denver/Raleigh/Charlotte. The firm is a LMM and does investments in PE and VC and mostly advises family-owned businesses that are our clients as well, all in the LMM space sub $100 million deal.

I have been networking to break into traditional investment banking and am not sure what to do. I have two deal experience(<100M) and a bunch of investment due diligence experience from both PE and VC minority investment, but I can't seem to get an interview. Might be the fact that I have been working for less than 6 months, but also wondering, do I go find a recruiter or headhunter for investment banking, and which ones do you recommend? 

I know Dartmouth Partners is one. I reached out to someone there, but they didn't even bother replying. I am doing the traditional cold email as well, but it's been dead silent or really hard.
