How would LinkedIn validate that your email domain belongs to the company you claim to work for?
- DaSHacka 3mo agoPresumably because the official company page is registered under it?
- account42 3mo agoNot all companies use email addresses under the same domain as the "official company page" though.
- HelloNurse 3mo agoWith a company-managed list of owned domains where real employees have their work email addresses (unrelated to website domains).
- jaapz 3mo agoAnd using DNS to prove that a domain is actually owned by this organization
- HelloNurse 3mo 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 3mo agoThen there are old school ISPs where there was no separation between company and customer email addresses.
- jaapz 3mo agoSo? Then you can't do this. For companies that do want more control over their linkedin organizations, it is still a useful feature. For companies using free e-mail services... they probably don't care anyway.
- sensanaty 3mo agoWhat HelloNurse said, whoever it is that runs the company page on LinkedIn provides a list of domains that they consider theirs.
