A first-of-its-kind HR consultancy license — $7,800 investment, fast ROI, and the full BD SELECT brand and toolkit behind you. For recruiters and HR professionals ready to work independently, without working alone.
In late 2021, a discussion at BD SELECT identified a growing reality: many talented recruiters and HR professionals were questioning the traditional employment model — but lacked the framework to go independent safely.
We spent a year conducting 103 interviews, running a thorough market study, and designing a solution three times cheaper than the competition — treating every license member not as a customer, but as a genuine partner.
Complete recruitment and HR operations toolkit — processes, templates, tools and brand assets. Everything you need to operate professionally from day one.
Full access to our many certified and validated tests — a unique competitive advantage and an additional revenue stream no other recruiter can offer clients.
No royalty fees. Unlike a traditional franchise, you keep everything you earn — there is no ongoing percentage taken from your revenue. Your results belong to you.
No imposed working method. You run your practice your way — with our brand, tools and support behind you, but without a rigid operational script to follow.
We produce ongoing marketing for you — industry news, expert content and campaigns with offers for your clients and prospects — so you stay visible, build authority and keep new opportunities coming in.
Periodic one-to-one sessions with a BD SELECT manager — to review your activity, discuss challenges, and give you the targeted coaching and guidance you need to keep developing your practice. You are never alone.
A simple license agreement with no excessive commitments. We focus on your achievements, your business development, and a genuine long-term relationship.
Offer team surveys and group-dynamics diagnostics that show how teams really perform — a data-driven edge your clients won’t get from CVs and interviews, and one competitors rarely provide.
The BD SELECT Licence is designed for recruiters and HR professionals who want to build their own practice — but with the credibility, tools and support of an established brand behind them.
Self-employment is a unique experience. It allows you to avoid a typical career and its pitfalls. Being your own boss means being alone, which can be difficult sometimes. Our structure ensures you never feel that way.
The freedom and rewards of your own business, with a proven system behind you. Here is how a BD SELECT license compares with a traditional recruitment franchise.

|---|---|---|
| To start | $25,000 to $50,000 on average | $7,800 |
