Background

About Robert Priest

With over 20 years of experience in business development and client solutions, I’m a commercially minded Business Development Manager who helps organisations make confident hiring decisions through smarter background screening and employment risk strategies. At Matrix Security Watchdog, I focus on driving new business growth while delivering tailored solutions that meet the complex compliance needs of clients across multiple sectors. Backed by a world-class screening platform and a strong internal support network, I provide honest, consultative guidance that leads to long-term partnerships and real business impact. Before stepping into this role, I held management positions where I led teams, mentored junior staff, and helped drive performance through coaching, process improvements, and a collaborative leadership style. I bring that same spirit to every opportunity—strategic thinking, people-first leadership, and a competitive edge that’s fueled by a real hunger to grow. If you're passionate about better hiring, smarter screening, and creating standout candidate experiences, I’d love to connect.
