I've been a senior accountant for five years, but I still can't get an interview for a management position. Shouldn't my senior title indicate that I'm ready for the next step, or do recruiters need to see specific leadership bullets on my resume to take me seriously?

It’s probably a red flag if you’ve been a senior for 5 years with the same employer without being promoted yet. If you have management positions you’re applying to, make sure that your resume aligns with the responsibilities expected of a manager.

I ran into the same thing. Recruiters kept telling me that “senior” doesn’t always mean people management. Once I added bullets about mentoring staff and owning projects, I started getting more traction.
