Curriculum varies by the bootcamp. The best ones design and iterate their curriculums based on feedback from the local job market, as they know they won't be in business long if they're not putting forward qualified candidates.
Also, a willingness to mentor is important when hiring any entry level developer. Bootcampers can require different mentoring, but in my experience so far they're not wholly worse off than a CS grad with no life experience to lean on. Focus on the fit of the person, first.
To be fair, I am biased - I completed a bootcamp 3 years ago after 15 years in hardware/networking. Bootcamp tought me the fundmentals of OOO using the .NET/C# stack. Focus on JS technology was much lighter. I joined a backend ETL & Data API team with high coding standards and high empathy for mentoring. I now pass that training and mentality onto others - mostly CS grads.
