Staffing issues have been persistent for the telecom industry, as Heather Moyer, the CEO of HNM Systems, knows all too well.

Moyer said she believes the industry at large has a branding problem and needs to adjust to appeal to younger prospects.

"We need to kind of rebrand ourselves from kind of the salty crew construction folks to emerging talent and recognizing that we are in a technology industry," she said. "And why we don't lead with that, I will never know."

Moyer, however, is doing her part to position the industry for future success. Her brainchild, an AI and machine learning workflow automation application (in the beta phase) called Recruit Code, is being utilized by HNM Systems, a professional services provider.

As the CEO of HNM Systems, Moyer scaled HNM Systems to achieve 25× revenue growth in just a few years, according to Recruit Code's website.

Now, Recruit Code is poised to bolster HNM Systems' growth even further.

According to Moyer, Recruit Code is part of a new era, in which workforce development consultants leverage AI to maximize positive impacts for clients.
