It's funny, I've not recruited staff before now, but I've been knee deep in CVs recently and without fail I skip over the education part. It's all about the job history (and only the last 2 jobs) and the portfolio. If I have to actually read the other bits of their CV to find out if I want to interview them, I probably don't.
Now OK, this role has very specific requirements, but nevertheless I could conclude that if you are recruiting for a role that requires experience of a specific technical area, all degrees are useless. Or at least irrelevant.
