In my experience, any halfway decent recruiter will tell you who the
client is once you express interest in the position. You can then tell
them not to submit your resume to the company if you're not interested
for whatever reason. Any recruiter who refuses to tell you the company
they're submitting you to is a recruiter you should stop working with.
Their reasons for not telling you their client name initially (so that
you don't run off and apply directly to them) are much weaker than your
need to know the name of the company before you're submitted (perhaps
you've already applied for the position?).
