I am always clear on what I need done, give examples, give warning on what skills are needed before they take on the job, and let them know that there is more work for more pay for them if they are able to meet my requirements (which are very fair). But time and time again i am dissapointed, and don't even get krusty (here in the office) started on how many days she has spent fixing up incomplete work, or stuff that was so riddled with mistakes she had to start again.
You may be clear on what you want done...but you are also clear on the fact that they don't have to do it. Especially if they are new, no matter how badly you need what they are working on, if they submit something that is sub-standard then you have to reject it back to THEM and make them clean up their own mess. It's the only way they will learn what your requirements truely are.

After a couple times of this they will either learn to do the job as you require or it's time to send them packing. After they have completed a couple projects without problems, then you can ease up a bit.

The way it is now, some of them may not even know that they are not doing what you really need done.
