HHs will find you. They get the list of emails from class above you - if you have an unusual email like [email protected] and find you're missing emails, totally fine to have friends in your group forward you the email and ask HH to add you to list.
If you want like MF from a LMM or something unrealistic, HHs are very set on the groups they reach out to so just be prepared that not every HH will reach out to you but you can't really sneak your way into top-tier processes by reaching out to them
Networking can't hurt but I wouldn't go overboard.. not banking where you need to send 300 emails. It's totally fine to hop on the phone with a few associates at your favorite group or top 3 groups so you have name recognition and something to reference about the firm in interviews but don't go crazy. Most people don't network for oncycle - process is tightly controlled by HH
Should I reach out via email.
I'd also put it as your default email on LinkedIn and check the settings so your default email is accessible to like 3rd+ connections. They scrape emails from LI, they will rarely look at your bio
You'll also just get some to your company emails - send those HHs a quick note from your personal email
Let’s say you are at a top bank good coverage group but come from non target, will the targets get looks first from hh.
It's not that they get first shot, perhaps target schools may get into more processes off a resume drop.. having Harvard on your resume vs Southern Idaho University is obviously a big difference.. but non-targets can certainly do well in oncycle.
