Connecting the right person with the right role.

At Left Field Sports, we understand that no two roles are the same – just like no two people are. That’s why we partner with clients to fully understand what it is they're looking for

Our clients benefit from our well-regarded experience in the sport and recreation industry – it’s unique challenges and the opportunities it can present to the right team player.

Our mission is to find the best person for the role, wherever they may be.

"Working with Paul from Left Field Sports was a fantastic experience. He was very easy to work with, very professional but human. He was always freely available, and all correspondence or actions were completed effectively and efficiently.

Paul challenged at all key points of the recruitment process, whether it be making edits to the job description, the types of questions or candidate progression. He was a great sounding board to process key decisions about candidates, especially in the context of understanding the overall sports landscape.

Paul has a great deal of respect for all candidates within the process as well, something that was important to me with the recruitment process.

When looking to fill roles in our marketing team we had clear ideas of the type of candidates we wanted to recruit."

-- Emily McOrmist, Chief Commercial Officer, Rowing Australia

"I have worked with Left Field Sports and Paul Bruce for several years now across multiple organisations and sports. Paul has personally managed the full recruitment process from start to finish always showing outstanding commitment, timeliness and dedicated focus.

He has a very strong network within the sports community and is also open to ‘left field’ candidates, thinking outside the square to best fit the role requirements. Paul always takes the time to have a thorough briefing to ensure he completely understands the scope, purpose and cultural requirements of the role and the organisation.

He keeps all candidates very well informed throughout the entire process and candidates who I have spoken to have always been full of praise for the way the recruitment was conducted and the way they were kept informed throughout.

I would highly recommend Paul to conduct any sports search and recruitment; it is a pleasure to work with him."

-- Kitty Chiller, Chief Executive Officer - Gymnastics Australia

"When looking to fill our recent CEO position for Swimming Victoria, our committee chose Paul Bruce at Left Field Sports. Why? because Paul and his company really know their stuff and their way of business makes the whole process very simple and straightforward.

Paul was able to provide a very strong list of candidates through his vast knowledge of the sports landscape. Paul took the time to fully understand our organisation and its requirements and made sure he knew and met with the candidates he shortlisted.

The whole process was seamless and extremely well run by Paul. The beauty of Left Field Sports is that they run it all and keep you totally involved in the status. I have even had great feedback from the candidates on how well the process was managed.

I’d thoroughly recommend Paul and Left Field Sports to anyone looking for a recruitment firm, especially in the sports field."

-- Paul Malcolm, President Swimming Victoria
