Possible to On-Cycle Recruit for US PE from London IB?

Graduating this year into a full time roll in London IB at a top EB/BB and interested in this. Visa isn't an issue, just interested to hear if timelines would work / if I'd even get any interviews.

I assume that headhunters wouldn't reach out to me, so interested in how I could get on their radar as well.
