In this guide, I’ll show you:

• How to see company employees on LinkedIn

• Why it's useful

• How to find current employees using Sales Navigator

• How to export employees with Sales Navigator

Let’s dive in.

How to See Company Employees on LinkedIn (Manually)

Here’s the simple way to do it, without any paid tool.

Step 1: Open LinkedIn and search the company page

Go to LinkedIn.

In the search bar, type the name of the company you’re targeting. Let’s take “Hubspot” as an example.

Then, click on the right company in the dropdown list.

Step 2: Open the company page and click "People"

Once you’re on the company page, scroll down and click the “People” tab.

This shows you a list of everyone who currently works there (at least those who’ve listed it in their profile). For Hubspot, you’ll see thousands of employees.

Now you can browse manually or filter by:

• First name

• Keywords

• Job titles (like “Marketing Manager” or “Sales Director”)

Step 3: Browse and identify current employees

At this point, you’ll have access to a live employee directory.

You can click on any profile, check job roles, and start connecting or researching.

Bonus: Use "All Filters" in LinkedIn Search

A bonus method you can use is to leverage the "All filters" function in a LinkedIn search.

For that you have to:

1. Type the company name into the LinkedIn search bar

2. Click on "All filters"

3. Scroll down and select the company under "Current company"

4. Click on "Show results"

You can filter this list manually by using filters like:

• Connections (1st, 2nd or 3rd connection degree)

• Locations

• School

• Industry

• Profile language

• Keywords (first name, last name, job title, etc)

💡 Pro tip: This method lets you pre-qualify leads. It’s not as good as Sales Navigator, but it can still help you spot decision-makers or warm contacts.And just like that, you now know how to find employees of any company on LinkedIn.

Why Finding Company Employees Is a Good Idea

Here’s why this matters:

• Market research: Want to understand a company’s culture or structure? Current employees can give you real insight.

• Lead generation: If you're in sales, this is one of the best ways to find decision makers.

• Recruiting: You can spot and reach out to talent from competitors or within the same industry.

• Networking: New connections = new opportunities. Simple as that.

How to Find Current Employees with LinkedIn Sales Navigator

The best way to find company employees is to use LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

You can apply advanced filters, segment the contacts, get alerts, and access way more valuable data than what you get from LinkedIn.

📺 If you don't know how to use LinkedIn Sales Navigator, no problem. You can check this in-depth tutorial:

Now it's time for a step-by-step guide to see the current employees in any company.

Step 1: Go to the Lead Filter page

When you're on the homepage on LinkedIn Sales Navigator, you just have to click on "Lead filters".

Step 2: Select the company on the "Current company" Filter

As you can see, there are a lot of advanced filters on this lead page.

The one you’re looking for is “Current Company”. This filter lets you see people who are working in a company.

So for that:

1. Type the company

2. Click on "Include"

💡 Pro tip: You can add multiple companies if you want.

Step 3: Split your search

With Sales Navigator, you can only see 2500 results.

So if you have more than 2500 people in a company, you need to split your search into several chunks.

The best way to do that is to use some filters like:

• Company headcount

• Geography

• Years of experience

• Years in current company

• Etc

Then, you save your searches in lead lists.

How to Export Current Employees Using Sales Navigator

Sales Navigator doesn’t let you export directly. But here’s what you can do:

1. Create a GiveMeLeads account

2. Download the Chrome Extension

3. Select your target on LinkedIn Sales Navigator

4. Add Intent Data (Optional)

5. Launch your export

6. Schedule Your Leads Export (Optional)

7. Download your leads file

Let's dive in!

Step 1: Create a GiveMeLeads account

Go on GiveMeLeads. Then click on "Get first 10 leads for free".

Then, you have to write your:

1. First Name

2. Last Name

3. Email

4. Password

And click on "Create account".

Step 2: Download the Chrome Extension

The GiveMeLeads Chrome extension allows you to export your LinkedIn Sales Navigator leads with one click.

It's not mandatory to use it — you can also copy and paste the Sales Navigator search URL directly into the platform.

However, using the extension makes the process faster and easier, especially if you're just getting started.

Step 3: Select your target on LinkedIn Sales Navigator

Go to LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

Use filters to find your ideal leads (like job title, company size, or location).

Then click “Extract leads” using the GiveMeLeads extension or paste the search URL on the platform.

Step 4: Add Intent Data (Optional)

Depending on your GiveMeLeads plan, you can add intent data to your searches.

It’s a great way to find warm leads — people who are more likely to reply or book a call.

Let’s say your LinkedIn Sales Navigator filters are:

• Company size: 51–200 employees

• Job title: “Head of Sales”

• Location: San Francisco Bay Area

On top of that, GiveMeLeads will look for people who match these filters and show intent, such as:

• 1st-degree connections

• People in your competitors’ network

• People who follow your company page

• People who viewed your LinkedIn profile

Once you’ve selected your intent data sources, click “Save Changes”

💡 Pro tip: You can set priorities for each source. For example, you can give more weight to 1st-degree connections than profile viewers.

💡Pro tip #2: If you work with multiple sales reps (or co-founders), you can use all of their LinkedIn accounts to get more and better leads. Each account brings its own network, 1st-degree connections, and profile viewers — which means more warm leads for your team.

Step 5: Launch your export

You target is set up. Now it's time to export your leads.

For that, click on "New Leads Export".

You will get a pop-up where you can select:

• The number of leads you want to export

• If you want to schedule this export on a weekly basis.

Then click on "Export Leads".

Step 6: Schedule Your Leads Export (Optional)

GiveMeLeads lets you schedule lead exports. Pick the day you want, and you’ll receive fresh leads weekly.

Once set up, you'll get a fresh list of leads every week — automatically.

Each lead is unique, and the system ensures there are no duplicates. This saves you time and keeps your CRM clean, so you can focus on outreach, not data cleaning.

Then, you’ll automatically receive new leads every week — no manual work needed.

You can focus 100% on what really matters: sending emails, starting LinkedIn conversations, and booking meetings.

💡 Pro tip: With scheduled exports, you can easily build lead files with more than 2,500 fresh, qualified contacts delivered straight to your inbox every week.

Step 7: Download your leads file

When your export is finished, you’ll receive an email with a download link.

You can also download your file directly by clicking the "Download" button in your dashboard. You’ll see two options.

1. "Open in Sheets"

This gives you a simple version of your lead list.

You have:

• Source (Sales Navigator, 1st-degree, profile viewers…)

• First Name

• Last Name

• Profile picture

• Company name

• Job title

• Headline

• LinkedIn URL

• Email

It doesn’t include all the data, but it’s perfect if you just want to import leads into your CRM or outreach tool like Lemlist or Expandi.

2. "Download CSV"

This gives you the full file with all available data. For each lead, you’ll see extra info like:

• Whether they have LinkedIn Premium

• Their total years of experience

• Company details like size, industry, and location

• Etc

Here's all the informations you can have:

💡 Pro tip: Don’t forget to scroll horizontally — there's a lot of valuable data in your lead file, including job titles, company size, verified emails, and even intent signals.

On top of that, GiveMeLeads automatically cleans your data:

• Fixes capital letters in names and job titles

• Removes emojis from job titles

• Removes legal suffixes in company names (like LLC, GmbH, etc.)

GiveMeLeads also checks if each lead matches your LinkedIn Sales Navigator filters.

If a lead doesn’t fit — for example, they have:

• An invalid job title

• Invalid location

• Wrong company size work

• Etc

We tag them in the column "filters" with the reason they’re invalid (like “Invalid job title” or “Wrong company size”).

That way, you keep full control of your data and don’t waste time guessing why a lead doesn’t match your targeting.

With GiveMeLeads, you get the verified professional email of every lead — even if they’re in your 2nd or 3rd-degree connections.

💡 Pro tip: No need to use separate tools to find or verify emails. Everything’s already cleaned, verified, and ready to go.

Advanced Techniques When Exporting Employees

Here are 2 advanced techniques when you export the current employees in a company:

1. Use Filters to Find Your Best Leads

2. Create a Saved Search

Let's start!

1. Use Filters to Find Your Best Leads

Let’s be honest: you don’t want to reach out to everyone in a company.

Some are interns. Others have no buying power. And some just aren't a fit.

To focus only on high-quality leads, you need to refine your search with filters.

Here are a few that work great:

• Current job title (use Boolean operators like AND, OR, NOT for better targeting)

• Years of experience: At least 1+ year = stability

• Geography (of the leads, not the company)

• Viewed your profile recently

• Posted on LinkedIn: Active people = more replies

• Etc

That way, you only focus on people who are interesting for you.

2. Create a Saved Search

Once you’ve applied your filters and found the right employees, don’t start from scratch every time.

Instead, save your search in Sales Navigator.

That way, any time a new qualified lead views your profile, you’ll get notified by LinkedIn.

💡 Pro tip: Use this to stay ahead of your competitors and be the first to message new hires or decision-makers.

Is LinkedIn’s employee count accurate?

It’s an estimate.

Not everyone keeps their job title or company info up to date. But it’s usually reliable for large companies.

Can I message employees directly?

Yes, if you’re connected in 1st-degree connection, you can message directly on LinkedIn.

If not, you can send an InMail.
