Approach with recruiters

Hi monkeys,

Have read it is best to very clear about what kind of PE role you are after (e.g. Pure Buyout in NYC) when speaking to HHs, but what if you are open to multiple roles? For instance, I'd love to work for Apollo PE as well as their Hybrid Value Fund, but obviously will miss out on HVF opportunities if I mention I only wanna do buyout - how do I get around this?

Would appreciate any advice - thanks
