These are entry-level positions, and frankly I wouldn't expect so much of someone who is a junior engineer. They should be able to do it with coaching, they may need you to remind them of things from time to time, but I wouldn't expect a junior to be capable of just doing 100% without any coaching.

I would expect them to try to figure out what you're looking for, and I would expect them to do some googling to figure out what that means. But I've met too many juniors who couldn't do what you're asking without some coaching, and they all did fine.

Frankly, software development is a team effort, and you have to work to build a team. I've worked for too many companies that expect their entry-level juniors to competently deliver without any coaching, and it just doesn't work. Maybe we're all having so much trouble hiring because we're expecting too much of people and giving them too little help?
