Short Explanation
A company page is a lobby directory someone typed, not HR's official headcount. Use the extra names as leads, then verify each one elsewhere. Do not treat the page as a sworn roster.
Full Explanation
LinkedIn company-page people lists are leads, not an authoritative roster. Names that do not appear on the corporate site still support people pivots once each identity is checked against other public sources. Company pages are in-scope social artifacts. Mass email from a city account is unnecessary for public-source verification and can reveal the research.
