This is important. Having hired developers with a range of experiences I've found that it's often the more junior developers who push new ideas, create discussion and raise the team morale IF you hire those juniors who are most enthusiastic and hungry for growth.
It's similar for hiring senior roles but seems even more important when hiring juniors.
