Anyone know when off cycle will kick off now that on cycle is done? Separately, does anyone know which MF / UMM / MM have not filled their class yet?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, off-cycle recruiting typically begins after the on-cycle process concludes, as firms look to fill remaining gaps in their classes. The exact timing can vary, but it often starts shortly after on-cycle wraps up, depending on the urgency of the firms and the market conditions.
For 2027, while there isn’t specific data yet, historically, off-cycle recruiting tends to be more flexible and spread out over several months. It’s a great opportunity for candidates who missed the on-cycle process or are looking for a second chance.
Regarding which Mega Funds (MF), Upper Middle Market (UMM), or Middle Market (MM) firms have not filled their classes, this information is usually not publicly disclosed. However, networking with recruiters, headhunters, and alumni in the industry is your best bet to get real-time updates. Additionally, some WSO threads suggest that many firms hold back a portion of their class for off-cycle recruiting, so there’s still hope if you’re targeting these opportunities.
Keep an eye on WSO forums and threads for updates, as users often share insights about specific firms and their recruiting timelines.

Has been going for weeks at this point. Firms run on their own timelines, there is no one singular day where everyone collectively starts the off-cycle process. Headhunters have been actively marketing off cycle opportunities and superdays have been going out for weeks now, but it’s all firm dependent on how fast they move and how many rounds
Yeah confirmed many still have spots and you have to be keep checking w headhunters
Anyone hear of any Consumer PE movement ?
L Catterton did on-cycle but didn't fill
Other big names would be TSG Roark Golden Gate which I think are all off-cycle
Unsure of Sycamore would love some insight on them as they are a top choice
Bumping here, have seen a few do stuff but want to know if any interviews kicked off
