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.
