A western Sydney baker will spend at least three years and seven months behind bars for attacking two female jobseekers.

Afghan-Baig, a father-of-two, met the women after they placed online advertisements seeking work.

He was arrested in August 2015 and charged with four counts of indecent assault and three counts of sexual intercourse without consent.

The court was told one of the attacks was captured on CCTV inside the store and lasted 30 minutes.

Police seized Afghan-Baig's phone after his arrest and found text messages in which he told one of the victims he was in love with her.

Afghan-Baig faces a maximum term of six years behind bars. 

He was supported in court by his ex-wife.
