What Are The Best Characteristics Of A SuperTemp?

As a recruiter you must find the best candidates to fit job roles, much like a superhero must adapt their abilities to save the world from destruction… so to speak.

In most job interviews the interviewer/ recruiter will ask a fundamental question: What are your strengths and weaknesses. You could flip this question to gage the same response by asking something such as: If you were a superhero, what superpower would you have and why? Using creative questions will put the candidate on the spot and you can determine much quicker who is right for the role.

Use our guidance to find the best characteristics in candidates and you are guaranteed to pick the right temp for the job…

Adaptability

Adapting to a new role is essential for any new starter, especially those who may have never been a temp before. Temp works need to adapt to different time shifts and days which can be tricky for those used to a 9 to 5 job. Being able to shift focus in different working environments at different times of the day is an essential characteristic of a super temp.

Time Manipulation

Temp workers need to be at their shifts ontime. Obviously we can’t teleport yet but workers shifts can start at different times of the day on any day of the week. So being organised and time dependent is crucial for temp workers to be successful which is something that you need to reflect while choosing the right candidate for the role.

The Mind Reader

The right candidate always needs to be prepared. If they answer questions smartly and show they have prepared for the interview you can almost guarantee that they will turn up to work on time and will be more capable to do the work. This characteristic can work both ways because you as the recruiter almost need to read the candidates mind to make sure they’re the right fit for the role. If you could actually read their mind that would make placing candidates a lot faster!

But what about the super characteristics recruiters need to survive?
