You need to get some CDDs under your belt. From your phrasing I assume you’re not in Strategy. Historically PE investment teams only hire out of strategy. If you do a rotation you might have sufficient experience under your belt to start recruiting

When I was at EYP-S I had maybe half of the headhunters reach out to me directly. The other half I reached out to on my own. I got on the phone with some alumni in PE and had them walk me through their recruiting processes. You can get a lot of that info here/online (eg names of all the big HHs, guidance for modeling tests, etc.) as well

Tl;dr do CDDs, reach out to head hunters, prep
