I'm 41 and get a pretty consistent flow of recruiters emailing me. Maybe if I went on more interviews, I'd run into the kinds of problems you're describing, but as I usually decline, all I can go on is initial interest. Also, what sort of contracts are you signing where you can't even disclose what you did? I've done some consulting work in the past (though admittedly not a lot), and I don't think I've even seen that sort of thing attempted. Obviously there are NDAs on the actual product of the work, but no one's ever attempted to prevent me from claiming I did it.
