Our Unshakeable Foundation

Trust is the cornerstone of every relationship we build. We act with integrity, honor our commitments, and ensure fairness in every decision.  Whether working with employers or professionals, we earn trust through consistent transparency, respect, and a commitment to doing what’s right, not what is easy.

We do the right thing

We always act in the best interests of our candidates, clients, communities and each other. There’s always more than one solution, and we want to find the right one and fair one every time. We stand by our commitments, keep our promises, and treat everyone with the respect they deserve.

Respect

We Honor Every Individual.

We approach every relationship with deep respect for the individual journey. We listen intently to the ambitions of our candidates and the strategic goals of our clients. We honor the cultural backgrounds, professional experiences, and personal aspirations of the people we work with, creating a foundation of mutual trust and dignity.

Collaboration

We Succeed Together.

We take time to listen and understand the goals and aspirations of both our candidates and clients — so we can turn them into reality. Collaboration and inclusivity are at the heart of everything we do, working together and sharing knowledge to create meaningful solutions. By combining our insights and experience, we achieve far more together than we ever could alone.

Quality & Excellence

We Are Driven by Professional Rigor

We are relentless in our pursuit of excellence. For us, quality means going beyond matching a resume to a job description. It’s about a rigorous, multi-stage screening process that assesses skills, cultural fit, and long-term potential. We are committed to delivering nothing less than the right candidate, ready to contribute, or the right role, capable of transforming a career.

Ethical Recruitment

Our Non-Negotiable Standard

Our commitment to “doing the right thing” is crystallized in our ethical recruitment pledge. We ensure fairness, transparency, and compliance at every stage. We protect candidate rights, provide clear terms to clients, and adhere to the highest international and local labor standards. For us, ethical practice is not an option; it is the only way we operate.

Our story

Sharp PH – Trusted International Healthcare Recruitment since 2016

Our history

Every great enterprise begins with a simple, powerful idea. For Sharp BH Global, that idea was born in 2016 when founders Colin and Tess identified a critical need: to bridge the gap between the UK’s healthcare system and the exceptional, licensed nursing talent of the Philippines. What started as a dedicated mission to support the UK’s NHS has since evolved into a global force in talent deployment.

Together with our strategic partner CF Sharp Group, the oldest and most successful manpower company in the Philippines, we have transformed a specialized solution into a comprehensive global platform, with offices in Manila, UK, US, Canada and Saudi Arabia.

We now supply thousands of multi-skilled professionals to some of the world’s largest international companies across diverse sectors.  Our clients include some of the best known global leaders in healthcare, hospitality, construction, logistics and engineering.

While we remain proud of our roots, deploying hundreds of nurses to the UK, Ireland, and the US, our reach now extends to the Middle East, Canada, and Eastern Europe.

Our journey from a specialized recruiter to a global leader is a testament to the power of a great idea, strengthened by the right partnership and executed with unwavering commitment.
