The move comes after Salt – which specialises in creative, HR, people & talent – part-acquired Recruit Digital in March in Cape Town to form Salt South Africa. This expansion makes the Johannesburg office Salt’s 12th global office with offices on every continent, a company statement said.

The Johannesburg office will be located in the Northern Sandton area, which has been described as “the fastest-growing commercial and residential hub”.

To help lead the new venture, Salt South Africa MD Alex Martin has appointed senior principal consultant Tshego Moroka to break into the Johannesburg market.
