GeraJobs in Germany 2026 — AGG, Mindestlohn and Hiring in Euro
Published 21 April 2026 · 9 min read
Schnelle Antwort
GeraJobs is a job marketplace for Germany built around the Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz (AGG), the Mindestlohngesetz (MiLoG), and DSGVO-safe Bewerbungsunterlagen. Job ads are AGG-screened (m/w/d required), salary-banding is standard, and applications are deleted within the statutory window after the hiring decision.
Germany hires differently from the US or UK. The AGG imposes genuine liability for discriminatory job ads. Salary transparency under the EU Pay Transparency Directive (transposition ongoing) is becoming the norm. And the market is split across generalist platforms, specialist boards, and the Bundesagentur für Arbeit.
The German regulatory stack
- AGG (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz) — non-discrimination on grounds of Rasse, ethnische Herkunft, Geschlecht, Religion, Behinderung, Alter, sexuelle Identität. Job ads must be m/w/d and free of discriminatory criteria.
- MiLoG (Mindestlohngesetz) — Mindestlohn is €12.82/h (2025, adjusts annually); tariflich gebundene Branchen can have higher branch-minimums.
- Nachweisgesetz (NachwG) — written employment terms required in German within the first calendar day.
- Bundesagentur für Arbeit (BA) & JOBBÖRSE — the public employment service; GeraJobs cross-posts to the JOBBÖRSE where employers opt in.
- Aufenthaltsgesetz & Fachkräfteeinwanderungsgesetz — for hiring non-EU talent we surface the Blue Card EU thresholds and shortage-occupation lists.
- DSGVO + BDSG §26 — employee data; we delete Bewerbungsunterlagen on a configurable schedule after hiring decisions.
