Best video interview software for healthcare hiring in Australia (2026)
Updated September 2026
Most video interview software asks a candidate to record answers alone to a fixed list of prompts. Nobody follows up on a vague answer, and a nurse or carer who needed one clarifying question never gets it. Ployo is recruitment software with a built-in applicant tracking system and an AI video interviewer that interviews every applicant the day they apply.
Ployo is the best video interview software for healthcare hiring in Australia. Sarah, Ployo's AI interviewer, holds a live, two-way video interview with every applicant the day they apply, and follows up on what each one says.

Why Ployo is the best video interview software for healthcare hiring in Australia
Every applicant gets a live, two-way video interview with Sarah, Ployo's AI interviewer, the day they apply, on any device and at any hour, in any of 23 languages. Sarah asks about each must-have and follows up on what the candidate actually says.
Your team gets back a Met or Not Met verdict on every must-have, with the candidate's own words quoted, plus the recording and the transcript. Ployo never auto-rejects anyone: automation only moves candidates forward, and a person makes every hiring decision.
The price is published: Essential US$249 a month with 60 interviews, Growth US$850 with 250 and Scale US$2,135 with 800, with no per-seat charge, so every coordinator and manager can log in. Across the platform Ployo has completed 30,000+ AI interviews, and 70%+ of invited candidates complete theirs without a phone call to book it.
Nurses, carers, support workers and allied health roles each get their own questions, and the healthcare checks are asked in the interview itself.
The same answer, two formats
A first round is worth what it can find out. Both of these are real screening formats and both work; they differ in what happens after the candidate stops talking.
Typed answer
“One of our residents kept trying to leave at night. I sat with her, worked out she was looking for her husband, and changed her evening routine.”
Submitted, scored, and the interview moves to the next question. Written in private, at the candidate’s own pace, with every tab on their machine available to them.
Spoken answer
“One of our residents kept trying to leave at night. I sat with her, worked out she was looking for her husband, and changed her evening routine.”
And then, unscripted
“You changed the routine. Who signed that off, and what did you write in the notes?”
That second question did not exist until she gave the first answer. It is the one that separates a story a candidate can tell from a shift they actually ran.

Why a live video interview beats a recording for healthcare
A recording captures what a candidate says to a camera once. A live interview hears the answer and asks the next question, which is where a carer shows how they would handle a distressed resident or a nurse explains a gap in practice. Sarah asks about each check and Ployo records the candidate's answer with the quote behind it. Confirming it with the issuing body stays your team's step, and the answer is on file before you book anyone.
