Which Firms Have Started Recruiting for On Cycle?

Trying to keep track to see which funds I might be able to try to network with. Know Silver Lake is sitting out. These are the funds I know that are interviewing (launched 8/29 on launching 8/30). Would be good to hear what other funds have started or are waiting to interview.

EDIT: Removed Blackstone (conflicting info)

Interesting, is that confirmed across teams? I read something that seemed to contradict that on another forum but didn't hear from them so couldn't verify. I will modify above.

 

From this list, have heard of offers going out for Advent, AEA, Apax, Apollo, Bain, Berkshire, GA, GTCR, H&F, KKR, Thoma, and Veritas.
