In the sciences (biology in my case) this has not been my experience at all. I got a job at a CC right out of my PhD, I had absolutely no insider status, and about half my colleagues had MS degrees. I think the main thing hiring committees are looking for is a demonstrated commitment to teaching, and an understanding of the very diverse student body at CC's. The CC is am at hired about 12 biologists in one year, and all have PhDs.
