Vidur is an open-source, modern recruiting software designed to make hiring faster, smarter, better, and more customizable. The software scales with the company's hiring needs.

3. Allow candidates to apply for jobs with just one click, simplifying the application process.
4. Easily manage candidate profiles and shortlist the most suitable candidates for each position.
5. Add as many team members as needed without restrictions, so everyone can collaborate effectively.
