From TechWeb:
More than one-third of employers have eliminated a candidate after digging up “digital dirt,” according to ExecuNet.
In a recent survey of 100 executive recruiters, 35 percent said they dropped a job candidate because of information uncovered online. That is up from 26 percent just one year ago, according to ExecuNet, an executive job search and recruiting network.
Seventy-seven percent of respondents said they use search engines to learn more about prospective employees.
