Hargin competed in the first FIS races in January 2001. In December 2003, the first use in a European Cup race followed. He recorded his first success in March 2004 when he finished second in the Swedish Junior Championships. At the Junior World Championship in 2005 , he won the silver medal in slalom. In the same year he also took part in the World Championships in Bormio , but could not finish the second slalom run. In the 2005/06 European Cup season he won three races and was second three times; thus he won the slalom classification before his compatriots Anton Lahdenperä and Jens Byggmark and was sixth overall. In the 2008/09 European Cup season he was able to win the slalom again with two wins and a second place.

On December 22nd, 2004 Hargin drove for the first time in a World Cup slalom. However, he only won his first World Cup points on January 7, 2007 when he was 20th in the slalom in Adelboden . In the 2008/09 season he came in eighth place in the Slalom World Cup with seven top 10 placements. At the 2009 World Championships in Val-d'Isère Hargin reached the fifth slalom rank. In the 2009/10 season , Hargin drove in five World Cup races under the top ten, making him tenth in the Slalom World Cup. At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver , he finished 14th.

On January 6, 2011, Hargin reached his first podium in the World Cup with third place in the slalom of Zagreb . After the first run, Hargin was only in 30th place, but with the fastest time in the second run he was still able to take the podium. He also came third on January 25th in the night slalom on the Planai in Schladming . He finished the Slalom World Cup in seventh position in 2010/11 . At the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , he was twelfth in his specialty. There were no World Cup podiums in the 2011/12 season . He drove three times under the fastest seven and, like two years earlier, was tenth in the Slalom World Cup.

At the 2013 World Championships in Schladming , Hargin won the silver medal in the team competition. On December 15, 2013, he achieved his best World Cup result to date with second place in the slalom of Val-d'Isère . On January 25, 2015, he celebrated the first World Cup victory of his career at the slalom in Kitzbühel .
