What I think many here don't understand is from a big tech POV (certainly my experience) Jr swe hires (new grad, L3 at G) barely break even for you, not that much better then interns.
You really only want to hire people who will make it to Sr (L5) in a few years. That is the level where they are fully self sufficient and don't need constant support from someone more Sr.
The perception (that I share) is that most (not all!) boot camp grads that interview as well as new CS grads still have less long term potential to make it to L5. They have done great learning basic programming on their own. Few will go much past that (compared to CS grads).
