What Can a Jobseeker Do?

You may or may not have legal recourse. In any event, is not good advice to start a relationship with a company by taking them to court.

In most cases, a company can decide not to hire you and take action before you start a job. Most companies will give include a probationary period so ensure that you read your contract carefully before you sign it. Whether short term, long term or permanent, a company will provide a contract of employment. The onus is on you to read it carefully.

If you believe that you are being discriminated against based on factors such as disabilities, age, gender, or race, you may have legal resource because most countries have discrimination laws. In these cases, hiring an employment attorney may still not change the outcome because discrimination cases are difficult to prove. However, it will not hurt to see advice of an attorney.

Regardless of the outcome, do not be bitter and do not burn any bridges. Every connection or interaction you have with people is a good opportunity to show your professionalism. This could also be the key to finding your ideal job in terms of a referral.
