Current employer is blacklisting me via HR at another company

Question

What recourse do I have if I know that a current employer is blacklisting me via HR at another company?

I know by cross-checking people I know don't like me at current company and people who are related to HR or hiring at the other company.

You don't know you are blacklisted and a company is free to decide to decline for no reason. — paparazzo, Aug 25 '18 at 18:25

Stay off social media. You led them to the intersecting circles. — , Oct 09 '18 at 05:16

If you have any recourse it would be through the legal process. You might consult an employment lawyer.

Apply elsewhere.

If you are in a locale where this happens, then there isn't anything you can do about it that doesn't have a strong chance of you becoming unemployed.

If in the EU you could file a request under GDPR with your HR department, for any communications they hold about you.

Be aware:

They can withhold anything which would violate their confidentiality with another employee (e.g. your manager).
They are not obliged to handle this in confidence.
