What should I know about salary information and pay transparency in job listings?

In Germany, a recruiting portal should separately manage salary band, variable components, working time reference, and location reference. Recommendation: include mandatory fields for minimum and maximum values, interval type, and reference to variable compensation. In practice: portal operation: salary fields only as structured inputs, not as free text. Limitation: excessively broad ranges can only simulate transparency.
