summer of 2013. Who's left?

With this recruiting season being a little unorganized compared to prior years i was hoping we could get a list started of who has finished their process, who is in process and who has yet to start. My personal knowledge is west coast, but what I've heard is below:

Finished: Oaktree Silver Lake Leonard Green

In process: TA Associates Levine leichtman Marlin equity

Still to go: KKR Carlyle Ares

If someone has the most recent gobuyside update that would help. Please add to list as much as possible

How are you getting this info - just based on your own recruiter dialogues?

"There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat."
 

Think your list might be wrong but here's what I have.

Still to go: - Huntsman Gay - Kohlberg - Oaktree (PE and distressed) - Onex - Reservoir - Sageview

People tend to think life is a race with other people. They don't realize that every moment they spend sprinting towards the finish line is a moment they lose permanently, and a moment closer to their death.
 

Reasonably sure oaktree distressed has filled their class as one of my friends will be working there. And I think the main reason recruiting is messed up is because the megafunds elected to wait until the second year and various firms have pushed back their processes various amounts because of that.

 

Yes. Although these are on my school's job board and some of these funds do come to school.(Those I listed.) We have a pretty big PE cohort here. Most of my friends get inbound inquiries though from either search firms (Glocap, Oxbridge, etc.) or headhunters directly due to prior PE exp.
