Questions to PE recruiters?

Hi, I was wondering if there are any PE recruiters / headhunters on the forums please? I came from an unconventional background but have relevant industry experience (but not straight 2+2). In this case, what experience can I gain to make myself a more credible candidate? I'd really appreciate a chance to connect with anyone on this forum that's a PE recruiter / Headhunter and hear your view please. (Sorry about the lack of personal details on this thread).

Thanks
