Ask HN: What was your best job search/hiring experience?

1 points by cliftonmckinney ↗ HN
We talk about bad recruiting experiences quite a bit here on HN. I'm curious about your best hiring experience. What did the company do? How was the interview? What made it special?

Strangely enough it was my last Microsoft experience. First contact was extremely professional and the interviewers themselves, from low-level to the GM were mannered and collegial. Just a lot of really good conversations about a lot of topics. No weird topping via puzzles, etc. I ended up taking another position which allowed me to work from home, but left with a positive view of Microsoft. For me, I never thought that could happen without brain surgery.
