Some of the best engineers(junior/senior) I've found have come from community events. If you're on the hunt for some juniors then I recommend that you get our of your building and go to where the juniors are for the specific area of focus you're looking to hire for. These people have already shown the innovative that they're interested in learning more about that particular field and willing learn outside of the traditional 9-5. You can still run into bad apples, but it will help you look for key traits and behaviors that can increase the odds in your favor for attracting juniors that are coachable, self starters, or show an ability to grow.
