What should I do after I connected with the HR of Houlihan Lockey on Linkedin

Hey guys, I'm a fresher who wants to get into IB and I'm preparing to apply to a bunch of Spring Insight Programmes. 

Last Thursday there was a presentation on Houlihan Lokey at my uni, I was really fascinated by this boutique. And at the end of the presentation,  I connected with the recruiter, the director of M&A, and an IB analyst of Houlihan Lockey. Then I set entering the spring insight programme of Houlihan Lockey as my no.1 goal.

However, I don't know how to use the networks with them to help me get into the spring week more likely.

So what can I do or what should I do to use this kind of resource properly?
