About
When I was a kid, I never said, "I’m gonna be a Recruiter when I grow up!” Yet here I am, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My professional development and success are rooted in the many inspired, long-lasting, and trusting relationships I've cultivated along this journey. I’ve built a successful career through my passion for helping others, coupled with extensive financial services recruitment experience. This includes primarily front office revenue-generating/investment-related positions, as well as middle & back office, financial technology, and engineering roles. I am honest, empathetic, realistic, and a roll-up-my-sleeves-get-stuff-done type of person. I wear many hats: consultant, partner, advisor, mentor, guide, colleague, teacher, student, daughter, sister, friend, and (my favorite title) dog mom x2. I was raised to be kind to others and always treat people the way I’d like to be treated, and that won't ever change. Senior TA Professional with Consultative Approach.

Recommedations
Trusted by teams, leaders, and talent alike.
Doreen helped to get me a job at PIMCO. She was great to work with. She knows the market and is capable of matching the potential candidates to a position very well. She helped me to understand the position and company before the interview and communicated with me promptly in every stage of the interview process. I would definitely work with her again.

VP, Performance Attribution
I had the pleasure of working with Dorren both as a candidate and later as a colleague at TCW, and I can confidently say that my experience with Dorren was outstanding. Dorren initially recruited me to join TCW, and throughout the entire process, I was impressed by the professionalism, transparency, and dedication to ensuring the right fit for both me and the organization. After joining TCW, I continued to witness the same level of excellence firsthand. Dorren is not only a skilled recruiter but also a true professional who builds strong relationships and fosters a positive hiring experience for all involved. I highly recommend Dorren to any professional exploring new opportunities or any organization seeking a top-tier recruiter!

Managing Director & Head of Distribution Technology
Doreen is an outstanding recruiter, especially in building up new teams from scratch. She understands quants and understands the market. She was incredibly helpful in not just hiring me but my entire team. And she did it for me twice - once for quant and once for sustainability. Loved working with her!

I'm very impressed by Doreen's unique expertise to match the best candidate to a job opening. This is possible as Doreen always goes above and beyond to get to know the hiring managers, the job openings and the candidates very well. Doreen has strong connections with the hiring managers who repeatedly relied on her service to bring in the best employees. In addition, Doreen also maintains a large candidates pool that she built over years. I was happily employed by my previous employer until I got a call from Doreen who clearly remembered the dream job I told her years ago. Doreen convinced me the move would be good for my career. Doreen scheduled my interview in the morning. Called me back for the second round in the afternoon. Extended the offer to me the following day - the hiring manager later told me I was exactly the one he was looking for
Virginia Qu
Director AI & Model Governance
I met Doreen in 2008/2009 during the financial crisis when I was looking for a new job at arguably the worst possible time. From start to finish Doreen was nothing short of incredible. From helping me design and tweak my resume, to coaching and consulting me pre and post interviews at each stage, to helping me negotiate and accept my offer. I have since referred many of my friends and colleagues to Doreen as I trust her, I trust her work ethic and I know she has strong character and integrity. What impressed me the most about Doreen was, and is, her incredible knowledge and understanding of all aspects of the financial industry - from trading and quantitative strategies and roles to institutional sales, asset management and capital markets roles.
