Recent highlights from SUSY searches at CMS

In these proceedings, the latest results of the CMS collaboration on searches for supersymmetric particle (sparticle) production at the LHC are reviewed. A variety of complementary final state signatures and methods are presented using 20 fb$^{-1}$ of data from the $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV LHC run.\\ The variety of searches shown ranges from an inclusive all-jet search for strong production of sparticles over a search employing $\tilde{t}$-tagging techniques and a search for a di-leptonic mass edge, jets and ${E\!\!\!\!\!/_{\rm T}}$ to the first search for vector boson fusion (VBF) production of $\tilde{\tau}$ in a compressed mass-spectrum scenario. In summary, the large coverage of supersymmetric parameter space by the CMS collaboration is demonstrated.
