Initial recruiter reach out for 2025 on-cycle process

Hi there. I just got an email from Dynamics Search Partners about wanting to start communications / fill out a profile ahead of the 2025 on cycle process. I am an incoming analyst at a BB in London but have US citizenship (which is also highlighted on my LinkedIn) so thats why I think I got the email. Given I study in the UK I am pretty out of the loop with how this all works - does this mean on cycle is starting? Or is it genuinely just an initial reach out to get people's profiles? Where does it go from here?

“Javier Barrena provided really detailed walkthrough on how he approached a similar tasking before, and although I entered the session not knowing how to approach this case study at all, I have a much clearer picture now. This session was extremely effective, and it's fortunate that he had the availability to do this despite my case study task coming in at a very last minute.”

“Jorge was very practical and generous with his time. He gave me a clear action plan: tighten my elevator pitch to under 2 min, do a weekly modelling case study, and prep technicals, market questions and behaviourals. His networking advice (always ask each contact for 1-2 more names, track fund closes to spot hiring windows, a list of London infra headhunters) was very actionable. He also referred me internally to Nuveen within a week. Only point to improve: I’m still waiting for his feedback on the case studies I sent.”
