This is a standard question that is often asked of candidates for any position in any industry. By asking this, your interviewer will likely get great insight into your personal morals and character. The important thing to remember is to not talk down about your current job or employer, even if your lack of interest in your current job is the reason for looking elsewhere. Instead, focus your answer on your desire to grow and mature as the next Staffing Manager with this organization.

"I have been with my current employer for five years. I love the culture, and I really enjoy my team. Unfortunately, I feel like I have to leave to promote to the next level of my career. My boss is the same age as I am, and I do not expect her to retire or leave anytime soon. Therefore, I am exploring new companies so I can have the opportunity to bring my skills and manage a strong recruitment and staffing team."
