How does PE recruiting work from MBB?

The title is pretty much the question. I understand the concept behind on-cycle recruiting for banking but how does it work coming from MBB? Obviously, most of the MFs are not attainable so I presume on-cycle is a little less intense for consultants, and more people are placed during off-cycle? I also assume networking has a larger impact on consultants than it does on bankers.

Do consultants also use the same HH? (Assuming that the HH you are looking for represents PE firms that are consultant friendly)


Any general tips that you think consultants should know for PE recruiting are welcome!

Firms will use the same HH for both banking and consulting candidates. While a lot of MFs don't consistently recruit consultants, there are a handful that routinely do (as well as plenty of great MM/UMM funds). Off the bat, I think of Bain, H&F, Advent, TPG, New Mountain, Berkshire, Golden Gate, Sycamore, Charlesbank, AEA, FFL, Arcline, etc.
