"Sometimes there's a competitive need to be somewhat vague about certain things but not always."

Too often that's what companies think when thinking is not something they do very well at. If there is truly a need to not publicize positions needing to be filled as it's a new direction for a large company, something like Apple looking at making cars, it could make more sense to work with a recruiter that's under an NDA that boldly states their body will never be found if they leak the info. Otherwise, it's easy enough to write a fairly generic job description that covers most of the needed requirements of the job but leaves off a couple of crucial bits that might give away too much.
