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.



Right, neither side should be able to lie is the whole point.

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


In some countries, that or nearly that is the case already.
