Nashville, TN, 2019-Feb-20 — /EPR Network/ — IQTalent Partners, Inc., a talent acquisition and consulting firm, announced the expansion and move of its official corporate headquarters from Silicon Valley to Nashville, TN.

The people, the economy, the culture – all of it – just fits the way IQTalent Partners does business.”
