replyNo it won't - such a thing would never be pursued by anyone or enforced it's not worth the effort.
As I said, if you get lowballed after making it clear at the start then just withdraw and move on, find a company that is professional.

If the law is worth its money, than you can start working in this position, wait for the trial period to end (or until they let you go) and then sue for the compensation stated in the job ad (well, in a country with some level of work place protection you could).
replyOr play their game, sign the contract, keep your original job, not show up and later tell them why they did waste their time themselves. If they then threaten you, you can point at the law.
Some recruiters get paid on commission, meaning after 6 months of you being in the role they get paid. Other internal recruiters don’t work that way so they have no incentive to get you in the door for a minimum term.
replyThe law will make it visible how much a company values someone with those skills. Companies won’t advertise the salary though, they will advertise the range.
