In such a case he should sue the recruiting company

IANAL, but it certainly seems like he may have a case for promissory estoppel.

I also ANAL, but I did take a contract law class in college and this is a textbook case. If it actually happened. And depending on how the “offer” was worded.

For a company like PayPal, I'm sure their legal team has written the offers in a way that they allow for this, and aren't an employment contract.
