What is company employee count?
Company employee count is the headcount of an account, ideally with a 90-day growth trend (e.g. "120 employees, +12 % YoY"). It's the single most-used field in B2B segmentation: SaaS pricing tiers usually map to headcount bands, ICP definitions almost always include "X-Y employees", and territory routing in distributed sales teams routes by company size.
In the context of company website-based prospecting, company employee count sits downstream: you start from the company website as your lookup key, the resolver maps it to the matching record in the source graph, and the company employee count value is returned as part of the enrichment payload. The accuracy of the company employee count you get back depends on how cleanly your company website input identifies the underlying entity.
