Can we source some headhunter mentors?

Hi @WallStreetOasis.com" @AndyLouis" and WSO team:

I really like your WSO mentor offerings, but could you source someone who has recent experience in being a headhunter for PE please? As we know, a large part of recruiting in PE goes through headhunters, and candidates who are not 2+2s would really benefit from being able to learn from them and understand how they can make it to the top pier (instead of garbage bin) in the resume book!

Thanks!
