Network. My manager from a previous job 12 years ago. I had left the company in very good terms (but had to go see the world) and we became friends shortly after. Last year I told him I was looking for something new, he heard me and convinced his employer to propose me something. He's not my manager today but he definitely outranks me in the company :)
