Incoming EB Analyst - PE Recruiting

Sorry if this is an obvious question - just wondering the incoming 1st year analyst timeline for being contacted by mega fund/large PE firm headhunters. Additionally, what's the likelihood/how to increase the chances of being contacted?

(Context: incoming EB analyst, previous IB internships, 3.8+ GPA, target school grad.) Know PE recruiting timelines have seen a shake-up so just wondering. Thanks in advance!

Private Equity LinkedIn Review

“Helpful session. We went through my LinkedIn profile line by line, and the feedback was honest and practical, not generic advice you could find online. A few things I thought were fine actually needed rewording, and once they pointed them out it made total sense. I also came away with some specific points to add that I hadn’t considered, especially around how I present my M&A and project finance experience. I’ve already started making changes and the profile feels a lot more polished. Thanks a lot!”

“The mentor was very knowledgeable and experienced and have a similar background as me being also an international student, so a lot of the anecdotes he provided feel really relatable and resonates with me. He also provided me with a clear timeline as to what I should do NOW, and answered the questions I posed very directly, which I appreciate. ”
