Poll results: Does your organization use social-networking sites to vet job candidates?
From last week's poll:

• 10% said yes -- we look everyone up on the major sites, as a matter of policy.
• 48% said yes -- it's something many hiring managers do, although it's not official policy.
• 38% said no -- we're just not interested in what people put on those sites.
• 4% said no -- company policy bans workers from accessing such sites while on the job -- including hiring managers.
