Since July is National Anti-Boredom Month, we thought it might be the right moment to ask: how engaged do you feel in your current role?

If “bored” feels a bit strong, maybe words like “routine,” “predictable,” or even “stuck” resonate more. You’re not alone – many of the candidates we speak to aren’t actively looking. It’s not that they’re content, it’s that they’re unsure what else is out there or whether it’s worth the leap.

In reality, it’s very common to hit a plateau – especially when your firm has set a steady pace but offers limited space for progression.

As external audit specialists, we’ve seen the market ebb and flow. Right now, it’s active. There’s movement. Firms are hiring. Promotions are being offered. And there are genuine opportunities for change and challenge.

We’re talking every day to talented people who know they’re capable of more, yet they’re being held back by structure, timing or politics.

At Ford Search Partners, we focus exclusively on Director and Partner recruitment within accountancy firms. If you’re starting to feel your professional curiosity fading, maybe now’s the time to explore what else might be possible.

The roles are out there. And we’d love to help you find one that truly fits.

Let’s have a confidential conversation.
