What is on-cycle recruitment like for distressed funds?

Question

Exactly the title. I know the PE process is pretty established, but I've read very little about what an on-cycle recruitment process looks like for distressed funds. Can anyone provide any experience as to what the interview process is like, what questions are asked, what the recruitment process is like, and also whether you can recruit for both distressed and PE at the same time? Thanks.

Went through the process at a few distressed funds and a distressed/credit special sits group at a MF.

other than the a few of the MF, sliver point I think takes a couple out of wharton, know a guy who started at goldentree (although I'm not sure if he's in the distressed group). These are some funds I know that are known to take people out of undergrad. I interned/am headed to another one. Like I said in another comment, you could land a seat provided you're willing to put in the work to land the seat over guys with exp/ib guys. I spoke to a lot of funds during my process, 99% don't run a process for undergrads at all. You just have to put yourself out there
