Family Office LP Roles

Looking to make a jump to a private markets allocator/LP role, preferably in Chicago (currently AN2 at a boutique M&A firm). 

What are some of the LP/allocator specific recruiters/headhunters that I should get in contact with? I've looked at Pinnacle and Agreus but they seem to be more East coast/Europe focused. 

I know a lot of the more niche allocators (SFOs especially) don't typically post applications anywhere - wondering if they go through a specific set of recruiters/headhunters, or is it just word-of-mouth?
