Who from the PE firms conduct interviews during on-cycle recruiting?

Hi monkeys, I have been searching the forum to see if there have been previous posts about it but can't find any information as it seems like the number of PE professionals who go on this site is limited compared to the intel offered about IB recruiting. 

1. Who is interviewing candidates after the initial HH meetings during on-cycle recruiting? Is it 1st/2nd year associates at the PE firms for initial rounds, then more senior employees for the superdays? 

2. When there's modeling tests involved, who is evaluating them? Is this 1st/2nd year associates too?
