Is this hiring ad on CFA Institute a spam?

This firm has advertised on the CFA Institute's job site for at least 6 months. Employer is "anonymous", location is Chicago, contact email is "[email protected]". They are "a nearly $2 billion US public equity investment firm". 

They require "an example of your research and thought process with a written company recommendation".

Are they hiring or just fishing for investment ideas?
