And using DNS to prove that a domain is actually owned by this organization

Email 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.
