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?

As a state run List / database, this is pretty much inherently evil
As an industry group, it sounds like a great idea IMO. As a hiring manager with limited hours in the day, the percentage of recent college grads who either ghost the interview or – 100x worse – literally ghost the job and never show or take another offer after accepting mine … I mostly just want to blacklist the asshat so they don’t continue fucking over other honest hard working people
Looking for a job is itself like having a full-time job. If someone determines that what you’re offering isn’t what they’re looking for, it’s understandable that they don’t want to waste any more of their time.
“Not interested, thank you”

(Ghost … tumbleweed… how long you gonna wait?)
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?
