If I am hearing you correctly, you are saying that a CS college grad (maybe with STEM grad with programming) is more likely to get the opportunity to interview than someone with only bootcamp coding experience. I agree with that. The former has been coding for at least a few years, and the latter a few months. There's no substitute a the right kind of foundation built from experience.
That being said, when hiring for a junior role, it's hard to spot the "right stuff" on a resume. If you figure out how to spot that, let me know :). Or keep it a secret and sell me that as a service! There's a reason that currently most recruiters can't charge a commission for placing junior candidates. It's hard enough for you to spot the junior dev you want to hire in a sea of applicants you've never spoken to. A recruiter who isn't you will have an even harder time figuring out what you want.
Having a degree definitely helps me get a lot more interview opportunities than my friends who come out of a coding bootcamp.
