You can post them here but I think you have misunderstood the problem. 
The job ads would welcome if the company name *is* mentioned.

Put it this way, if the majority of people on the list could look at the 
job being ofered and there was enough info to immediately reject or 
immediately follow it up then you (the recruiting firm) have done the 
right thing. However, if it is a teaser designed to suck in as many 
people as possible, most of whom wouldn't have bothered if the necessary 
info had been posted to self-eliminate after a glance then you get your 
firm a bad name. And annoy those who have wasted their time discovering 
what you should have said in the first place.

So, mention everything which will permit the majority of the list to 
ignore it. You only want a minority anyway so ...

That will be 2.2 cents.
