What should I know about the EU Pay Transparency Directive in recruiting?

Germany should prepare recruiting processes so that salary information is available in a structured format before the interview or at the latest before contract proximity. Recommendation: align the portal, applicant communication, and employer backend to the same salary logic. In practice: portal: display salary information identically in the listing and in the detail view. Limitation: directive implementation details may be specified differently at national level.
