Announcing #lifeatalign

When I first joined Align Technology 18 months ago, we were just 3,000 employees strong, globally. We had a small (but mighty!), decentralized recruitment team and were just getting started with our global recruiting tools and process. It was a true opportunity to build, and that was an exciting challenge!

Align Technology has been in business for 20 years, yet, it is constantly changing, evolving and growing. We have on-boarded nearly 5,000 additional people into the company since I joined, and we continue to bring in new skill sets. 

With all of this growth and energy in the company, there was still work to do to attract the right talent for our company. One of our bigger obstacles has been people failing to connect our company – Align Technology, with our well-known products – the Invisalign system. I have personally watched this happen at other companies. When potential candidates do not relate our products with the company, it can make a difference in their level of interest and how they perceive a career opportunity.

Well, it’s time to change this! So today, I’m thrilled to announce our new talent recruitment campaign called #lifeatalign. This campaign is an opportunity for all of us at Align to tell you Align’s story of growth, of technological innovation, and of how we have, and are continuing to, change an industry every day. You will see authentic stories from employees who are new to our company and who have been here from the beginning. Through employee videos and written narratives, you will gain better insights into Align’s future opportunities, the company’s plans for global expansion, our unique capabilities, and how Align employees feel when you feel great about your smile! Did you know, for example, that we are the largest 3D printer in the world or that we can manufacture over 200,000 unique aligners per day?

I encourage you to follow us on LinkedIn, and visit our career page often. We want you to join us on this incredible journey.
