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?

    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?
