Do Headhunters Look at College Transcripts

I'm at an undergrad business school (Stern, Dyson, Ross, etc.) and I'm likely to get an A- in my private equity class because I fucked up my exam. My current GPA is a 3.95, and I have an internship at a top BB (GS, MS, JPM) for IB. Will headhunters see this or care?
