Maybe whoever creates a site that requires compensation numbers will also allow applicants to leave feedback on the employers to reduce chances of that happening. (I can only hope!)

Then they are just lying and should be warned. I understand it is difficult to monetize sites like this where you restrict employers with rules but that is an ideal situation for job seekers.

I see more situations where they list a high upper salary but also high (optional) requirements. People who don't meet the optional requirements don't get above average pay.

One interview I had people adding on expectations and requirements during the interview. She talked about how they were looking for someone who knew big data in a mobile job, which is not something normally expected. And that salary is lower for people who don't meet those expectations.
