They do though. At any company worth a dam on their website it might say that all they require is a 2:1 but in reality a preference is given for a traditional/related subject and a higher quality university. See how many people from Thames Valley University you get working for one of the big investment banks.
The problem occurs if you have a 2:2 from a good university in a hard subject, then you're pretty much screwed since they won't even look at you, case in point there's a girl who's stuck in reception at my work with a 2:2 in Maths from UCL. If you come out with a 1st or 2:1 from a good university in a strong subject then you're going to be worth far more than someone from a poor university, recruiters get paid a load of money to be able to differentiate these things plus after the 17 rounds of interviews and assessments you have to go through any weak candidates are filtered out.
