This question will give more insight into your professional motivation. It's also an opportunity for hiring managers to learn if you have any potential red flags, such as being fired or experiencing heavy interpersonal conflict in your current position.

It's okay to make the decision to leave a role that's no longer working for you, whatever that reason might be. You don't need to give every detail of 'why,' but feel free to be open about what you are seeking professionally that you could no longer fulfill in your current position.
Acceptable answers might include seeking greater professional growth opportunities, motivation to learn something new or take on greater responsibility, or simply a change of career goals or interests.

"For the past six months, I've felt quite stagnant in my current role and knew that it was time for a change professionally. My coworkers and supervisor have all been absolutely fantastic to work with, but I feel confident that after three years with my current organization, it's time for the next chapter in my career. Given the experience that I bring and my interests, I feel strongly that the next chapter is with Paycom."

"My current position is one that I started just out of university. While it has been an excellent starting point for my career, the opportunities for career growth in my current position are limited. I've been able to progress these past two years but my options have started to plateau. I'm drawn to Paycom because of the emphasis you place on growth potential and helping your employees to reach their peak, both of which are of central importance to me in my career search."
