Unusual resumes

["Writer Whirler" <a_whirler -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

I have been asked to evalute some tech writer resumes forwarded for a 
contract position open in another department. Most contain the usual 
information: company name, dates of employment, etc. But a few, all from the 
same agency, do not contain any specific company names or employment 
history. Rather, they say something like, "Software manuals, Major National 
Bank" and "Internet developement, Major Human Resources Firm". This 
information is followed by a description of the tasks performed. There is no 
sense about how long these candidates worked for those firms or who the 
firms are. My first impulse upon seeing these resumes was to reject them. 
Why in the world would you want to hide this information? And how much time 
would need to be spent in the interview just finding out who the candidate 
worked for and for how long?

Has anyone else ever encountered these types of resumes? What is the 
advantage in presenting someone's work history in this fashion? Or am I just 
out of touch with current trends?

Thanks.
