PE recruiting London / EU

Hi All, 

Have some upcoming interviews with HHs (eg. KEA, Blackwood, Dartmouth) who reached out - already had an introductory phone call. What to expect for the next (deeper) interview with these HHs? Will technicals, deal rationale, industry knowledge already be tested? Or is this more for the interviews with investment professionals from the respective funds where you'll be interviewing?

For Dartmouth, they always do PI R1, VI R2 (which is much more technical from my experience, be it basic technicals) -> pass onto firm to conduct further interviewing/assessment centres etc
