Headhunters / Oncycle 2028
Made the mistake of relaxing a bit too much after signing my return offer and forgot to fill out those headhunter information forms until now. Was wondering where things stand as of now and if anything meaningful has started (i.e., headhunter chats, info sessions, etc.)
Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about the 2028 on-cycle recruiting timeline in the provided context. However, historically, on-cycle private equity recruiting tends to kick off early, often in December or January, depending on the year and market conditions. Headhunter chats and info sessions typically begin before the official process starts, so it's crucial to engage with headhunters as soon as possible to avoid missing out on opportunities.
If you're just now filling out headhunter forms, prioritize reaching out to them directly to express your interest and availability. Headhunters often appreciate proactive candidates, and this can help you get back on their radar quickly.

Did the same. Honestly don’t think it matters bc at the end of the day, they get paid to place you so they’ll jump at the opportunity regardless of when you actually connect with them. Doubt that they’ll give kids better options who filled out their form (which was sent ~2 years before on cycle actually starts) vs kids who reached out later on after knowing with more clarity that they wanted to recruit
If the HHs aren’t actively reaching out to you and chasing you down, you probably aren’t a target candidate; at least at the moment. Those that the clients want, the HHs aggressively go after from what I have seen personally and the like. The form itself is more of just a way for you to help them, but you may just be helping them hire someone else 🤣.
Either way good luck chief
Looks like one of the main headhunters is sending out info on scheduling chats... worth engaging for these yet?
Yeah got 1 from Gold Coast, planning on scheduling one
How was it? What did they ask?
Guys, it’s March. Chill.
These incoming Y1 cannot wait for interviews to take place but unfortunate news for them that off cycle for us still just kicking off
Thank god.... not trying to deal with on-cycle my senior year. In your opinion will timeline be the same for oncyle for the incoming cycle?
Wait until you have to start thinking about raising your next PE fund in 5 years from today (2031)….

Can anyone speak to the Amity technical assessment?
