and this is why Glassdoor and Blind exist

It's why laws must exist [1] [2], otherwise it wouldn't be done (US centric citations).

[1] https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/21/more-than-25percent-of-us-wo... ("More than 25% of U.S. workers are covered under pay transparency laws—that could soon be near 50%")

[2] https://www.hrdive.com/news/pay-transparency-law-tracker-sta... (A running list of states and localities that require employers to disclose pay or pay ranges)

Next, I want a bounty system to report third party recruiters and employers that post job descriptions without them

because right now the consequences are weak

maybe we can make the the consequences hold greater legal muster by tying it to something else, like "if you register for an account with the payroll tax department, your job descriptions must have cash salary ranges posted with the compensation description"

Call your representatives. Make the law, the tech is the easy part. I’ve gotten more done in 30 minutes with a rep than in 10 years behind a keyboard.
That (sorta) for bigcorps. Not very helpful in many cases.
