No, you don't have any recourse, unfortunately. In the absence of a written employment contract, all employment is "employment at will." This means, among other things, that is completely up to employees whether to hire someone; when to start them if they are hired; whether to go through with or rescind a job offer; whether, why, and when to terminate someone; etc.  There is, simply, no right to employment. Therefore, there is no recourse for not getting a job or for being fired due to a credit credit.
