How Specific Do You Have To Be To Headhunters?

For example, lets say I want tech PE.

Is it better to be super detailed like "Upper-middle-market private equity firms in California that focus on industry-specific SaaS companies within tech” or would "UMM tech PE in the west coast" be fine?

Advice/your personal experience would be appreciated.
