Most senior IT recruiters do not leave when things get bad. They leave after a long stretch of things being fine. Still hitting numbers. Still the person clients trust. Still the one the team looks to. But somewhere in that stretch, the energy changes. The role that once felt challenging starts feeling predictable. Conversations that used to be interesting start feeling repetitive. And eventually, a quieter question starts showing up. "When did I stop feeling excited by this?" Performance is often the last thing to go. Conviction usually goes first. The recruiters who make the best long term moves tend to notice that early. Before the numbers force the question. Before anyone else can see it. If that gap is starting to show, it is worth a conversation.
