The only question I have is: why would they? I can see the reason why the job seekers would subscribe to your website but I don't see why employers would prefer it to other alternatives. Actually I can see one: to be able to identify which candidates have a criminal record and eliminate them from their pool.

Registering there as an employer can be an act of good will and generosity but that seems a bit awkward to make them pay for it, no?

BTW, you have to have a very solid security from the beginning. A leak of your database would not only threaten your business but negate most of the good you did.

Because it expands the pool of applicants. It's a way of getting access to people who otherwise might not apply (and who are probably willing to work for less).
