It creates various perverse incentives, so even if it might work if all the involved parties are well-behaved, it pushes the situation towards people not "behaving well", at which point the proposed system would not get good results.
It incentivizes abusive companies to fire people quickly after firing - most companies do it, but some do; and the proposed system would increase that.
It incentivizes behind-the-back deals with ex-coworkers, stressing ethics and relationships.
