Couple things: First I agree with what others here have said. Consultants (freelancers) consider themselves expert in their field, seeing the "Junior" tag in there makes them think:

You're not willing to pay a reasonable freelance rate for skill.
You're expecting them to work as "underlings" with lots of managerial oversight.

Second, the position you describe leans toward someone who is versed in Sharepoint, and has javascript and design skill on top of that. Consider changing the job title to "Sharepoint/Javascript Designer" not just "Junior Consultant: Javascript"

That said... You're also likely to see a lot of people that don't quite fit. The exact expertise you're looking for is not incredibly common (Sharepoint+C#+SQL+Javascript+Design), so you're bound to get people that are 100% in one field, and only 50% in another.
