How to scrape LinkedIn employees by company
Build a complete contact list for any target company — filtered by department, seniority, or role — in under 10 minutes.
Quick answer
Step-by-step guide
To scrape all employees at a LinkedIn company page in 2026, open the company's "People" tab, apply filters (job title, department, location), and use a Chrome extension to extract all visible profiles into a CSV with verified professional email addresses and phone numbers. The extension handles pagination automatically — on a 500-employee company, you get the full employee list enriched in 5-10 minutes. For account-based marketing (ABM), you can build a complete contact list for your top 50 target companies in one afternoon.
Step by step
The full walkthrough
6 steps — about 10-15 minutes end-to-end.
-
1Search the target company on LinkedIn
Use LinkedIn search or Sales Navigator Account Search. Open the company page. Works on any company with a LinkedIn presence — from 10-person startups to Fortune 500 enterprises.
-
2Click the "People" tab
This shows all employees LinkedIn knows are currently at the company. Standard LinkedIn shows the first 1,000 employees; Sales Navigator reveals the full employee list for saved accounts. The "People" view is the starting point for employee scraping.
-
3Apply filters (recommended for large companies)
Filter by job title ("VP Sales", "Marketing Manager"), seniority level (VP, Director, Manager), department, location, or keyword. This narrows a 5,000-person company to 50-200 relevant contacts matching your ICP. For small companies (<100 employees), scraping the full unfiltered list is often faster.
-
4Start the Chrome extension export
The extension detects the employee list view and offers to extract. Choose enrichment options: basic profile data only, email enrichment, phone enrichment, or all three. Each enrichment adds verified contact info via multi-provider waterfall and SMTP verification.
-
5The tool scrapes and paginates
The extension walks through every page of the employee list at safe browsing speed, respects LinkedIn's rate limits, and builds a structured dataset. For 500 employees, expect 3-7 minutes total. For 2,000+ employees, expect 15-25 minutes. Progress is visible in real time.
-
6Export to CSV, Google Sheets, or CRM
Download the employee list as CSV, push directly to Google Sheets, or send to HubSpot/Salesforce/Pipedrive via integration. Each row contains: full name, job title, department, LinkedIn URL, verified email address, phone number (where available), location, and company metadata (industry, headcount, domain).
Pro tips
Things that trip people up
For 1,000+ employee companies, use Sales Navigator's "Current Company" filter combined with seniority and function filters to narrow the employee list to your ICP within the company. Scraping all 5,000 employees wastes time and enrichment credits.
ABM batch hack: scrape your top 50 target accounts' employee lists in a batch, then filter the combined CSV by role (VP Sales, Director Marketing, Head of RevOps) for focused ABM outreach. One afternoon of scraping = 6 months of outbound pipeline.
Combine with boolean search for multi-company lists. Use Sales Navigator boolean: "VP Sales" AND ("company1" OR "company2" OR "company3") to build a cross-company decision-maker list without scraping each company separately.
Rate limits matter. The extension paces requests automatically at safe browsing speed. If you're scraping 50+ companies per day, spread the work across multiple sessions or use the API endpoint for server-side processing.
Verify before outreach. Even verified email addresses can bounce if the employee left recently. Run a final email verification check before loading into your cold email sequence.
Track lead source in your CRM. Tag every scraped contact with source = "LinkedIn company scrape" + company name + scrape date. This enables attribution tracking and prevents re-scraping the same company next month.
FAQ
Common questions
Will my LinkedIn account get restricted?
The Chrome extension runs at normal human browsing speed — each page load looks like a regular user clicking through results. Thousands of SDR teams use this daily without account issues. The key is pacing: don't scrape 100 companies from one account in one hour.
How many employees can I scrape from one company?
LinkedIn shows up to ~1,000 employees per company on a free account. Sales Navigator reveals the full list for saved accounts (no cap). The extension handles pagination automatically — no manual clicking through pages.
Can I scrape employees from private/stealth companies?
Only data LinkedIn publicly surfaces can be scraped. Companies with "hidden" employee lists or stealth startups that haven't created a LinkedIn company page won't return results. Most B2B SaaS companies (your typical targets) have active company pages with full team visibility.
What is the email hit rate for employees?
Typical verified email hit rate: 65-85% for US B2B SaaS companies, 50-70% for European companies (stricter privacy norms), 40-60% for APAC. Scraping costs 1 credit per lead; a successful enrichment adds 1 credit — contacts with no verified email found are not charged for enrichment.
Can I scrape specific departments only?
Yes — LinkedIn's People tab and Sales Navigator both support department/function filters. Filter to "Sales", "Marketing", "Engineering", etc. before starting the scrape. This dramatically reduces scrape time and enrichment cost for large companies.
How is this different from downloading the company page directly?
LinkedIn doesn't offer a native "export all employees" feature. The company page shows employees one page at a time (10-25 per page). The Chrome extension automates pagination, extracts structured data from each profile card, and adds verified email addresses and phone numbers that LinkedIn doesn't show at all.
Can I scrape employee lists for competitor analysis?
Yes — a common use case is competitive intelligence. Scrape a competitor's team page to map their org structure, identify which roles they're hiring for (signals product direction), and build outreach lists targeting their customers who might switch.
How do I handle employees with no LinkedIn profile?
They won't appear in the scrape. LinkedIn-based employee scraping only captures team members who have LinkedIn profiles. For exhaustive coverage, combine LinkedIn scraping with company domain email pattern generation (first.last@company.com) for known employee names from other sources (company website "About" page, press releases).
