And everyone thought registries were only for sex offenders. If it works to punish them then why not on those who don’t want to work?

“Not interested, thank you”

Sure, as long as we can also include companies and hiring managers that ghost applicants and rescind offers.
This isn’t an issue of ghosting though. It’s about reneging on an agreement. You’re telling someone you’ll meet them at a particular time and then not showing up. The equivalent on the hiring side would be if you told an applicant that you’ll let them know what the decision is by a certain date and then not doing it. If you made no such promise, then that’s a different story. Rescinding an offer is equally problematic, but I’m pretty sure you can take legal action against them for something like that. Promissory estoppel I think?
How is recinding an offer not reneging on an agreement?
It is? And they’re not allowed to do that, right? I’m not that familiar with law, but that’s what I see every time people talk about their job offers getting rescinded.
Ah, maybe I misunderstood you. You said that it is not an issue of ghosting but of reneging on an agreement, while the parent comment had a clear example of reneging on an agreement. Also, as far as I know rescinded job offers are quite difficult to persue legally as contracts usually have some trial period where any side can cease the contract for any reason (or are completely at will). But I have never persued such action so I am not sure what the precedent is.
