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 warm, targeted leads.

• 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, 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.

Step 1: Export the employees of a company with GiveMeLeads

Step 5: Download Your List of Leads

The final step is getting your lead file:

Advanced Techniques When Exporting Employees

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.

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

If not, you can send an InMail.
