Also, offer letters must be legally binding at the time of being offered.
Also, saying you’re hiring when you’re actually not.
Lying on the resume is literally all the leverage most people have in the job hunt.
If you cheat, to compete you your lies I now have to lie. And it completely breaks the system.
Also, you don't deserve more leverage over other prospective candidate. This is cheating and fraud. It requires punishment.
> and it completely breaks the system
The system of hiring is set up in such a way that employers and employees are encouraged to act immorally to get the best result. It’s not any individual’s fault that the system is broken, it just grew that way.
And everyone has the same ability to lie on resumes. When job hunting you should use every advantage you can get.
That being said, making outright lies may get you the first screening, most interviewers can smell too much bullshit.
Currently, it's symmetrical. If either side lies, the other side can exit the contract with no notice, and may tell others their story.
> Also, saying you’re hiring when you’re actually not.
This would be nice and very actionable. Perhaps requiring a company to say how many resumes they've received, candidates they've talked to, and how long its been open on job listings could save everyone's time.
Currently lying on resumes is the only power would-be employees have, since employers can say or do _almost_ whatever they want during the hiring process
I assume you’re referring to the offer letter? Companies extend offer letters only to retract them before the agreed starting date. (Maybe since the offer they found a better candidate)
That should be punishable.
Hiring someone who lied on their resume and is unable to perform their work duties should be fired.
