One of the first things I came across was "Police Officer" in Tallahassee, FL. It's an external link. Part of the description even says:

"Have no convictions for any felony, perjury, false statement, or domestic violence. No DUI convictions past ten years. Other arrest histories are reviewed on a case-by-case basis."

I love the idea, but it needs a bit more work.

What's the problem specifically with that listing?

Its a listing that excludes candidates with felonies on a job board specifically for candidates with felonies.

The OP specifies only "criminal record", which may include both misdemeanors and felonies, with varying degrees of each.

Some employers care about any criminal record at all, while others care about felony convictions only. The website itself only mentions "criminal record" and "formerly incarcerated".

Perhaps it would be prudent to make filtering easy for "misdemeanors only" jobs and "former felons wanted" jobs?
