Excellent tips. For my previous company, we had a person who done exactly this. He lives in Spain, but just reached out to us when he was in San Francisco, and we have a talk/interview here in SF.

In many ways, we all still count each other as friends.
Thanks for sharing! I agree that personal meetings help companies to define more precisely whether a person is a good match for a particular vacancy.
