There used to be a YC startup dedicated to this, which unfortunately no longer exists. I don't know the backstory on that, but I do remember that there was quite a large Launch HN thread:

Launch HN: 70MillionJobs (YC S17) – Job board for people with criminal records - >>14911467 - Aug 2017 (506 comments)

I link it here in case there might still be useful information or tips in those comments. If there are other related threads, we can list them here too.

Edit: also this (via jph's comment below):

Tell HN: I'm Afraid We're Shutting Down - >>31598978 - June 2022 (353 comments)

Screwed up thing is the hiring conditions today are almost the opposite of 2020, so it would work great now (lots of entry to mid level jobs open, more comfort with remote than in <2020, etc.)
