MOSCOW, Nov. 27 (UPI) -- A Russian jobs website said its poll of employed Russians indicates one in five members of the country's workforce would use sex to land a dream job.

The website said its poll of 3,360 workers found 15 percent of respondents would use sex to get a really good job "if they liked the headhunter." Another 6 percent answered "why not," RIA Novosti reported Tuesday.

The poll, which did not give its methodology or a margin of error, found 29 percent of male respondents would use sex to get a job, while only 9 percent of women gave the same answer.

The website said 4 percent of respondents had used flirting in an attempt to get a job.
