Maybe. Depends on the felony and the nature of the crime. I'd probably say no to sexual and violent crimes and some non-violent crimes (fraud, theft). Not to be judgemental, but some people really do have physiological issues. Not everyone, but it's hard to pinpoint from a few job interviews. I'd consider it though if I can get some guarantees (but lawyers struggle with this all the time, no?).

In the US I've noticed, some felonies are really nonsense and it's just an over-law'ed system all together. For those, I would probably hire.
