Legal action?  In Japan?  Surely you jest, unless you mean to include
complaining to relevant regulators.

None of what you describe seems actionable, though.  I understand the
frustration, but this is pretty common behavior world-wide, and I've
never heard of it being penalized by society (unless it continues
*after* an employment contract is signed).  Employers hold the whip
hand during the job matching process.

I think it's more fun and more profitable to be honorable and
cooperative, but I guess that's just me, and (probably fortunately) I
don't rule the world.
