I'm assuming that if I'm planning to pass for on-cycle recruiting (probably looking to lateral first then try my hand at it), I should pass up the registration form and instead send them an email telling them so? Or should I fill it out anyways and then let them know?
Basically, does filling out the registration for "lock in" your interest for on-cycle?

Based on the WSO Dataset, filling out the registration form with CPI does not necessarily "lock in" your interest for on-cycle recruiting. It's primarily a way to get on their radar and start the communication process. If you're considering skipping on-cycle recruiting to focus on lateraling first, it's still beneficial to fill out the form. This way, you establish a connection with CPI, which could be valuable later on.
After filling out the form, it would be prudent to send them an email clarifying your current intentions. This communication ensures that they have the correct understanding of your timeline and goals, which can help them provide more tailored opportunities and advice. This approach keeps your options open and maintains a professional relationship with the headhunter.
