About us
From Remote Bewerbungshelfer to Unconventional CV.
We build bridges between people and companies — beyond résumés and application filters.
It started with one thought: applications should not just deliver information, they should create understanding. Not “Why am I good?” but “Who am I — and why does that fit exactly here?”
As Remote Bewerbungshelfer we began helping people find their right remote jobs. Over time that became a clear process, a method and an attitude: Unconventional CV. And with the technology available today, it has become software — making this approach scalable for many more people.
Our journey
Not less humanity. More clarity.
Remote Bewerbungshelfer was the beginning. Even then we built unconventional applications — as our own websites, not PDF résumés. The strategy behind it emerged in 2023. Lena implemented it first: creating application pages, reading job postings, writing cover letters, sharpening profiles. Then came a course, then one-on-one support, then a group program. From practice, a method grew. But the core was there from the start: traditional applications leave almost no room for what really matters.
We saw good candidates disappear into filter algorithms. We saw companies searching for potential but filtering by keywords. We saw people shrinking themselves to fit a template. We wanted to do it differently.
From hundreds of conversations, applications and feedback rounds, a pattern emerged: the applications that truly landed did not just list qualifications — they revealed personality, values and fit. They told the story of the human behind the résumé.
That became Unconventional CV: a method for turning a lot of information into a clear, authentic human profile. Not embellished, not invented. Sorted, condensed and brought into resonance with the company.
Today we put that method into software. Current AI technology lets us structure in minutes what used to take hours of manual work — without losing the human core. The software is the tool. The attitude has stayed.
What Remote Bewerbungshelfer brought with it
These values still guide us today.
Human before résumé
We care about the person, not the position. What drives them? What do they stand for? What is their mission?
Honesty before optimization
We never write anything that is not there. We condense, organize and sharpen — but we never invent or embellish.
Connection before selling
A strong application is not a sales pitch. It is a bridge between two sides that genuinely want to recognize each other.
Substance before surface
We do not believe in buzzwords or inflated profiles. We believe in clarity that lands — with the person and with the company.
Dignity before pressure
The application process can be stressful. We want to make it more dignified — for applicants and for the companies that receive them.
Who is behind Unconventional CV
A small team with a strong conviction.
Founded by Lena Gierl, supported by 2 dedicated women who help make the mission visible.
We have seen how traditional applications shrink people — and we want the opposite. Our goal is not to produce as many applications as possible. It is to produce applications that can both understand and be understood.
What we believe
Three attitudes that shape our work.
Authenticity instead of performance
We show what is really there. Not a perfect performance, but the real person. It lands — with the right people on both sides.
Clarity instead of mass
More content does not mean more value. We sort, organize and condense — so the important things stand out instead of drowning.
Human instead of machine
Technology is a means to us, not an end. It should not replace the human, but support them. The core stays human.
Our vision
A working world where people and companies truly recognize each other and enrich one another.
We dream of a time when applications are decided not by lists of skills, but by real fit. When companies see who belongs with them. When people find companies where they can unfold. No longer human against mission — but human for mission and mission for human.
Our mission
Make people visible. Help companies listen.
We make what is inside a person understandable to companies. And we help companies recognize exactly those people. Our software is the tool — our attitude is the foundation.
