The people behind Signet, dedicated to helping
you hire smarter every day.

Matt Messersmith
Matt Messersmith
President

Matt founded Signet Screening in 2011 with a straightforward mission: give HR professionals and business owners access to fast, accurate background screening without the complexity, long contracts, or impersonal service that defined the industry at the time. Drawing on two decades of experience in sales, operations, and client service, he built Signet from the ground up into a trusted screening partner for organizations across the country. Matt is closely involved in the business, working directly with clients, staying ahead of compliance changes, and making sure Signet continues to deliver the responsiveness and accuracy that larger firms struggle to match. He's based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and when he's not talking background checks, you'll find him out on his motorcycle or keeping up with his chocolate lab, George.
