Nearly 70 percent of the hiring managers surveyed say that they have rejected a candidate because of what they saw about them on a social networking site.

Conversely, 68 percent of hiring managers said they have hired candidates because of what they saw about them on a social networking site. Asked what it was about those candidates that made them hirable, 39 percent said it was because they gave a positive impression of their personality and organizational fit.
