Hire local. Build an inclusive team. It’s free.
How the free recruitment service works
We save you the two most expensive parts of hiring: finding people, and losing them in the first three months.
- 01
We learn your business
A short conversation about the role, your team, and what a good hire actually looks like for you.
- 02
Partners nominate candidates
Your vacancy goes to eight providers with more than 30,000 people on their books.
- 03
We screen before you do
You only see people who fit. Candidates arrive briefed and prepared for your process.
- 04
Support after the start date
Partners stay with the new starter, and your team gets the toolkits to support them well.
Seven reasons it’s worth the phone call
- Access to reliable, motivated, job-ready staff
- Save time and money on recruitment
- Free tools and information on inclusive employment
- Raise your local profile and standing in the community
- Support through recruitment, induction and training
- Improve local engagement by securing a diverse workforce
- Join a community of organisations delivering social benefit
Three inclusive employment toolkits
Co-designed with local businesses, community members and service providers. Practical, not theoretical.
- Inclusive Industries ToolkitFact sheets, activities and templates across five sections: getting started, flexible work, inclusive leadership, unconscious bias, awareness and respect.
- Industry Mentoring ToolkitEverything to run a mentoring program in-house: business case, mentor training, mentee guide and agreement.
- Employee Retention ToolkitFive strategies piloted with Wyndham employers to keep staff, with a focus on culturally and linguistically diverse teams.
Your own space to run the whole thing
Log in and you get a private workspace: post and edit vacancies, track every applicant through a simple pipeline, message candidates, manage your business profile, and download toolkits whenever you need them.
Your Opportunity Wyndham broker sees the same pipeline, so they can step in with candidates and support without you re-explaining anything.

Before you get in touch
Is it really free?
Yes. The Inclusive Recruitment Service, the toolkits and the workshops are all free to local employers. Opportunity Wyndham is funded by Wyndham City Council with support from the Victorian Government’s Department of Jobs, Skills and Regions.
Do I have to hire someone from a particular group?
No. You hire the best person for your business. What we do is widen the pool so people who’d otherwise be screened out (young people without a track record, skilled migrants without local experience) get a fair look.
How fast can you send candidates?
Once we understand the role, your vacancy goes out to all eight partners at once. Most employers see a screened shortlist within a fortnight, and urgent roles can move faster.
What if the placement doesn’t work out?
Partners provide post-placement support to the new starter, and we’ll work through it with you. If the role genuinely isn’t the right fit, we go back to the shortlist. There’s no cost and no penalty.
