Because:
1. Companies have no incentive or competitive advantage to do so
2. Salary is a negotiation, and you don't hand the person you're negotiating with information
3. Companies can control pay variations amongst current and future employees.
Despite all this, some companies have chosen to be public about their salaries (GitLab, for example).
Public institutions often have a legal requirement to establish and publish salary ranges; for example, you can see the salary steps for GS-* ladder employees, or the steps for a public school teacher.
Even if you did create an 'app' to circulate 'only-with-salary-disclosed' jobs, I can't imagine more than a few companies wanting to participate. Why should they? What concrete, guaranteed incentive could you offer them?
- anon13949019014 6y ago(Going anon for privacy reasons here) To add some anecdata: GitLab definitely deviates from the salaries they publicize at least in some cases. I was reached out to about a role with #s that were way below market for my area. At the time they did not have any employees in my state and advertised one low-ish statewide salary. When I mentioned the numbers were off-base for being in <one of the most expensive areas in my state>, they were quick to bump the salary by something like +50%. Note that this was before doing any interviewing (though a GitLab recruiter had reached out to me first).
