about Us

Why Xclusive Was Founded

Xclusive Recruitment was founded by Kat Hartvigsen, a recruitment professional who built her career inside high-performing agency environments and understands first-hand what it takes to succeed — and what causes people to burn out, stagnate, or leave the industry altogether.
After years in corporate recruitment, Kat saw a recurring problem in the Rec2Rec space. Too often, recruiters were being pushed into roles that looked good on paper but didn’t align with their long-term goals, values, or working style. At the same time, agencies were receiving candidates who hadn’t been properly vetted, understood, or prepared. Xclusive was created to change that.
The focus is not on volume or fast fees, but on thoughtful matchmaking, honest conversations, and outcomes that
last.
