H1 2027 PE Internship Recruiting (London)

Hey guys, does anyone have any insight into H1 2027 PE internship recruiting in London (mainly UMM, MF)?

Trying to understand who covers what, i.e., which headhunters are relevant for which funds, and whether processes are mostly through recruiters, direct outreach, referrals, or the occasional career website posting.

Also curious which funds actually take off-cycle interns and what the best way is to get on their radar. Seems like CD&R is the only fund currently running a process for H1/27.

Any insight appreciated!
