While I mostly do ignore recruiters that don't put all the information upfront, I think there might be a couple reasons why they do that:

- Incomplete information is provided purposefully to get you to the next step of the funnel which is a phone call

- They don't want competition to narrow down who their client might be

- Possibly they are trying to lowball potential candidates (has happened to me)

Or maybe... some of them are just simply incompetent. Looking both at my inbox and a several LinkedIn groups with jobs that I run, I do wonder how some of those opportunities are getting any replies.

On the bright side though I have interacted with some recruiters that really know what they're doing. It's not a big group but it's worth remembering who they are.
