REPE On-Cycle Recruiting Timeline

I'm lost on how the on-cycle timeline works for MF REPE recruiting since headhunters are starting to reach out for On-Cycle PE Recruiting.


I'm interested in joining a place like BX/KKR/Carlyle/Oaktree for Acquisitions. Does the timeline start very soon since On-Cycle is kicking off for PE? Should I start emailing headhunters now? Any help would be appreciated.

BX/KKR/Apollo/TPG will start that first night along with some other big names like Brookfield, Oaktree, Centerbridge, Rockpoint etc. Then there are a lot of other top places that will sit out the first couple days or so and then kick off processes like Carlyle, Morgan Stanley, KSL, Cerberus, GIC etc. So generally would say it’s similar to generalist recruiting except 1) some top firms just don’t participate (ex: Starwood) and 2) lots of top notch shops are interviewing a few weeks into the process because they either sat out the first few days or are a bit more disorganized recruiting wise (for generalist recruiting all umm/mf OCR spots are generally taken in the first 48 hours - this is not the case for REPE)

 

Think this guy is trolling. Haven’t interviewed at all of these places but know that GIC, Carlyle, Cerberus, Oaktree, KSL, etc. hire ad hoc. At least when I was interviewing in 2021

 

How is it done then? Just by headhunters and online applications?

 

Trying to figure that out myself tbh. I’m at a large REPE firm and we have very structured recruiting for those coming out of undegrad or MBA. I’m looking to transition a different REPE firm. For any experienced hires (experienced analyst / associate), it’s all essentially on an ad hoc / as needed basis. I’ve spoken to a couple headhunters as well and don’t see anything too structured. Rather, they are saying firms aren’t hiring much for acquisitions right now. Have you seen different ?

 

Are openings even posted on LinkedIn or other job sites? Not much transparency for UMM/MF REPE recruiting.
