I think I got one of these a few months ago. A recruiter at "an executive search firm" emailed saying my name "was mentioned in connection with a CTO/SVP Eng brief" they were trying to fill, specifying that "It’s a confidential search". Which at the time I assumed just meant they couldn't mention the company name, but then in an (unsolicited) followup email they told me the company name, so possibly they did mean they were trying to keep it quiet. The kicker is I'm a junior dev not long out of uni, and not qualified to be CTO of a ham sandwich. If they were trying to keep it quiet, they were doing a pretty terrible job of it.
