Has anyone tried to add special clauses to their initial contract along the lines of: "If the offer is rescinded before the start date, the applicant will be awarded 3 months salary. If the applicant is fired within 3 months of the start date, the applicant will be awarded relocation fees to previous location."
And you'd update that based on costs of moving, or possibly the state of the economy and your risk tolerance. If they don't agree to that, then they clearly aren't serious about hiring you, and you dodge a bullet.
This would hopefully reduce cases where they hand out multiple offers for a single job, or at least compensate applicants due to a change from management.
