Saying that you have a job but are unable to say where in the world this job is, what the salary is in the region of, what the industry the job is in or what skills are needed seems like you are basically on a fishing trip for CVs rather than having actual vacancies to fill. You talk of your clients but at the same time talk about potential applicants going directly to the client. If you were working with the client they wouldn't accept applicants who came to them directly, that is what they use a recruiter for, if they do then they are not actually your clients. Remember the responses you are getting here is because your post sucked and by implication you and the company you represent. A little more professionalism would not go amiss, first impressions and all that.
