A McLean tech company recently opened a Columbia office — and it needs bodies to fill desks.

Internet telephone company iCore Networks took space last month at 5950 Symphony Woods Road in Columbia and has plans to employ 30 at the office by the end of 2010.

To date, around half of the 30 positions have been filed, meaning they’re still on the hunt for 15. CEO Stephen G. Canton said the Columbia office is searching for network engineers, salespeople and project engineers.

And in the middle half of 2011, Canton expects to hire another 20 employees in Columbia with a long-term goal of expanding that office to 100 workers. The jobs range in pay from $25,000 to $80,000, not including commission, Canton added.

McClean-based iCore was attracted to Columbia because of its proximity to both D.C. and Baltimore, Canton said.

The 9-year-old company has an annual revenue of $25 million, Canton said.
