Headhunter Double Tap

I'm currently wrapping up my first year at a fund and am looking to jump ship (variety of reasons). I was placed by a headhunter that covers a lot of opportunities I'm interested in and is currently running a search for a fund I'd consider lateraling to.

Do I run any risk of getting fk'd over by this headhunter if I reach out to them and let them know I want to leave? I know they will get my placement bonus as soon as I get my first year bonus so I don't think they'd care but the headhunter placement process/confidentiality is a bit of a black box for me. Thanks for any input guys
