About Lensa
Lensa is a career site dedicated to helping job seekers find suitable employment opportunities within the US. It operates as a job promotion platform, not a staffing firm or agency, meaning it does not directly hire for the jobs it advertises. Instead, Lensa promotes job openings on platforms like LinkedIn on behalf of its direct clients, recruitment advertising agencies, and marketing partners. For this specific job, Lensa has partnered with DirectEmployers to promote the position for Envista Holdings Corporation.
