ahh ok that makes sense i guess. I wanted to look into the company myself

Also there are times the company will start the recruiter/hiring process when they are about to lay someone off. I'm the only person in my company with my job title so if I saw an open position listed with the same title, I'd know something was up.

Generally the recruiter will at least tell you the industry during the first phone call. Once you get deeper into the process, they'll tell you the company name. Also just to let you know, this first call with the recruiter isn't really an interview, it's probably fluff. Often the recruiters I talk to like this aren't technical(I remember you being a software dev) so they can't answer any technical questions you may have about the job. They are the type to ask you if you have experience with Microsoft Office even though you listed on your resume you knew Word, Excel, PP, etc.

I'm jaded enough in my IT career that they need to provide the job listing and salary range up front before I even take a call with them.
