The advert is about the standard you seem to get from aviation recruitment agencies. If you see what is posted on Flight Global, there are hundreds of adverts from so-called aviation recruitment specialists who make no mention whatsoever of whether they are even looking for a fixed-wing or rotary-wing pilot. If you ring up and ask them, half the time they dont even know, and they cerainly dont understand much of what you explain to them in terms of your experience. They are just forwarding the information provided by other HR departments (who often do not really know much about it either). Imagine how many pilots a police HR department deals with...(not many). The person in the HR department would not have the faintest idea what the shift pattern is etc. Unfortunately, the "professionals" at the recruitment agencies dont always use their experience to filter out the superfluous and obtain the useful infomation from the customer!
