>if you go with a junior/intermediate guy... your goal is to assess the junior programmer's 'TALENT LEVEL' as opposed to his 'current warehouse of knowledge' then develop this person into the 'ideal candidate' you mention in your ad.
to assess a programmer's talent try to discover their mathematical aptitude..
did they get a degree in math/computer science ? what were their marks like?
when they studied math did they concern themselves with completely understanding the material or just memorizing procedures to pass tests?
these kinds of issues allow you to assess talent level
