Associate Recruiting for both Special Sits and Buyout PE
Incoming analyst at a tier 2 EB Rx team (MOE/PWP/GHL). I am interested in recruiting for the special sits teams of MFs like APO HVF, KKR Strategic Investments, Carlyle Special Sits where such teams are available but also for value/complexity skewed PE like CD&R, Searchlight, GTCR, Elliot PE, etc. outside of these limited seats.
Is this possible or will Headhunters ask me to choose one or the other? Would appreciate hearing from people who either did this or were unable to do this.

You can’t be ambiguous with HHs. It must be clear cut. Obv you can tell different HHs different things so take a look at their client lists before engaging them.
Also congrats on Mizuho!
Understand the telling different HHs different things, but this is the situation I am concerned about. CPI does recruiting for both Ares Special Opportunities and CVC PE. Similarly, Ratio does recruiting for both Apollo Hybrid Value and GTCR. If I am interested in both of these for each headhunter, how do I approach this situation?
My reasoning is that I like the investing styles of all 4 funds and am trying to choose firms not by asset class but by the overall investor experience I stand to gain. Is this a sufficient answer or am I better off sticking to one strategy between SS and Vanilla buyout?
