Allbritton's WJLA Washington and Politico Hill newspaper/Web site have teamed with Hubbard's WTOP radio in Washington on a new job search site.

Powerjobs launched Tuesday as a joint venture to put viewers, readers and listeners in front of jobs in the defense, energy, finance, health care, government, nonprofit and tech sectors, with initial postings including from Johnson & Johnson, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Cisco.

The site launched with 1,400 job postings. WJLA would not say what the split is, but each partner will get a cut of the proceeds. The site is free for job seekers, while potential employers pay for the listings. According to a sales sheet for the site, postings start at $350 per for a 30-day announcement, up to $6,000 for a package of 10 posting slots for three months.

All three partners will have a link to the site prominently displayed on their respective websites.
