My last 2 companies, LinkedIn asked me to add an email address associated with the said company and actually confirm via said email in order to add them to my profile. So, if I worked for FooCompany, I had to have a @FooCompany.com email which is setup by someone at the company itself. Does this not cover what you're talking about?
- pants2 4mo agoAccording to my research, LinkedIn only does this for executive and now recruiter-like titles, but not broadly. You may be able to in order to get "verified on LinkedIn" but it's not a requirement for showing association with a company. https://www.theverge.com/news/771210/linkedin-recruiter-executive-verification-mandatory https://www.theverge.com/news/771210/linkedin-recruiter-exec...

- kortilla 4mo agoIf it’s an option and not required, then that doesn’t solve it.
- psychoslave 4mo agoAny clue what’s there "Persona" program that they are trying to push hard "so you can have so much positive leads"?
- 3abiton 4mo agoI have the same. The difference is, if you do email verification, you will "verified" status. If not, you can still add the company to your linkedin, just unverified, which is not a label.
- freeopinion 4mo agoYou mean @fooco.com? Or @foocousa.com? Or @fooco.xyz? @fooco.ai? @foocoltd.net? @foo.co.uk? How would LinkedIn validate that your email domain belongs to the company you claim to work for?
- DaSHacka 4mo agoPresumably because the official company page is registered under it?
- account42 4mo agoNot all companies use email addresses under the same domain as the "official company page" though.

- HelloNurse 4mo agoEmail domains of employee addresses aren't necessarily owned by the company. For example: - a startup with legacy personal email addresses from one or two universities - a spin-off sharing the email domain (and the whole IT infrastructure) of the parent company - cheapskates using six approved free email services For security purposes, on the other hand, the important part is proving that the LinkedIn account is owned by the organization.
- bigbuppo 4mo agoThen there are old school ISPs where there was no separation between company and customer email addresses.
- SanjayMehta 4mo agoI had a LinkedIn account connected to my company email and one day I found myself locked out. They want me to upload a govt id and blink my eyes in a video to get unlocked. They can go jump.
