About Us

XTALENT is a high-touch executive search and leadership advisory firm with a mission to connect and develop entrepreneurial leaders who drive transformation to create sustainable impact and growth.
We partner with clients to address their key leadership challenges, blending insights with instinct and ensuring every hire and talent decision is a strategic win.
Additionally, we facilitate the expansion of Romanian companies into international markets by connecting them with strategic partners/clients and local/regional investment funds.
At the same time, we support the repatriation of Romanian and Eastern European professionals from the diaspora by offering them relevant opportunities at home and in the CEE region.
Founded by Andrei Costache, the firm builds on his 20+ years of experience partnering with clients across Europe and the U.S.

PURPOSE = Personal Fulfillment (Relationships + Impact + Growth) + Serving Others
True purpose comes from a balance of personal fulfillment and serving others. Personal fulfillment arises from strong relationships, meaningful impact, and continuous growth, while serving others ensures alignment with a broader mission.
By understanding these elements, we help leaders and organizations define their purpose, unlock their full potential and drive lasting success.
Our services are built on trust, excellence, and a commitment to delivering measurable results.
We align the individual purpose with the purpose of the role/organization, rather than simply matching a profile with a job description.

Our Approach
Our approach is rooted in the principle that great leaders aren’t found – they’re engaged through existing trust. We leverage established relationships and engage in meaningful conversations.
We believe purpose is the best indicator of future behavior, performance, and fit, serving as the cornerstone of exceptional leadership and organizational success.
