Unfortunately, since there is no right or entitlement to a job, there is no claim for compensation if an employer chooses to not hire you. You can't count on getting a job from any given employer; the onus or burden is on you to look for other positions, to manage your own career, etc. You cannot hold the potential employer liable for not hiring your or for the time you lost. Only when there is a right to something might there be a claim.
