Supertemps seeks to ensure it can supply demand in peak periods by looking at recruitment trends of the previous years and planning promotional campaigns accordingly.

New strategies are implemented constantly but the best proven methods still tend to be: media advertising, maintaining a credible internet presence, attending jobs fairs throughout the region and working closely with local job centres and colleges.

Word of mouth and personal recommendation remain crucial in the Supertemps promotional mix - ingredients which can only be added if the service offered is something to write home about.

When Supertemps receives a CV, it is assessed according to both the type of work the candidate is seeking and current market trends.

If considered suitable, the candidate is invited in for an interview and skills assessment. This gives both parties a chance to ask any questions they may have and is usually the start of a great working relationship.

Candidates are thoroughly screened, with meticulous reference checks made before they are presented to a client company. And because of this, Supertemps has a very high success rate in placing the right candidate with the right company.

Sarah Patterson, Director of Supertemps said: "We make a concentrated effort to get to know our clients, in both working philosophy and personality. That way, when we place candidates we can gauge not only if they have the right skills for the job, but also and just as importantly, if they are a good match with the company's dynamics."

After placing a candidate in a position, the work for the employment business doesn't stop. Supertemps ensures that both candidate and client are happy with their placements - through the use of progress reports,e-mails, phone calls and meetings.
