Hi Mathew, Thank you for reaching out to the support team, and thank you for your patience. Associated member count refers to the number of LinkedIn profiles linked to a company. While this is a great metric, it has some shortcomings, namely, it may not reflect actual employee numbers since it includes both current and former employees, as well as people who incorrectly claim association with the company. I hope that helps!

Hi, To clarify, when I said "former employees" I mean, folks who have maybe moved on but have not yet updated their employment status on Linkedin. (Often times between jobs, people don't edit their Linkedin information whilst trying to figure out their employment.)

I hope that makes sense!
