The first thing I look for in people is whether they are passionate about it. Of course there is no simple yes/no answer, it always varies from person to person. Second I would always give them time to evolve and do not judge them pretty quickly. Each person takes his/her own time. A good way is to ask them showcase what they have done in a short talk/presentation. In this way you can both judge them in many angles without making it awkward for them.

I believe peer discussions or even manager/developer discussions should happen at least once a month. In that way , mistakes are corrected quickly and expectations are set at the beginning itself.
