  • Publish posted gross salary ranges: sample n=59; the median; p25 61,000 EUR; p75 80,000 EUR to set realistic expectations.

  • Specify the working model: onsite and hybrid are most frequent; state remote options if available.

Draft job ad with clear salary and technology requirements

  • Use a headline with 'Java Developer' plus focus (Back End, Full Stack).

  • Display posted gross salary range and include median values from the sample where possible.

  • List technologies explicitly and separate mandatory from desired skills.
