It’s important when hiring to make sure you have the resources needed to bring someone on. For hiring a junior dev I would be asking myself if the team can dedicate 10-20 hours a week for pairing for six months. Also I find it helps both people if there is an expectation around when someone should feel comfortable. Again, no less than six months until I would expect them to feel comfortable.
