Bradley Johnson is the Founder & CEO of Rate My Resume. His career spans military leadership, intelligence, and technology. Roles that rely on clear standards and accurate evaluation. In hiring environments, he saw a consistent gap: strong candidates getting overlooked because resumes often fail to translate real capability into decision-ready signals.
His approach:
Bradley began his career in the U.S. Army, first serving as an enlisted infantryman and later moving into intelligence and officer leadership roles at the Captain level. That experience shaped a disciplined way of evaluating performance: define the standard, measure against it, and lead with accountability.
After military service, Bradley transitioned into civilian roles across IT and cybersecurity and worked closely with staffing and recruitment teams. He saw how frequently hiring outcomes are influenced by inconsistent screening criteria, keyword bias, and resume formatting.
Bradley’s work centers on improving how experience is communicated and evaluated, so qualified people are easier to identify, and hiring decisions are more consistent. Rate My Resume reflects that philosophy: structured inputs, clearer outputs, and a stronger signal for both candidates and hiring teams.
Bradley is also the founder of Novul Solutions.
