Some employers are wary that hiring someone with a previous conviction would pose too high of a risk for everyone.

Ex-convicts are humans too..they should not be discriminated against.Many companies are leery of hiring ex-convicts..after checking his CV and throwing a flood of questions at him,and  they eventually find out that he is an ex-convict,the hr or boss will squint or wrinkle his brow to show that he has taken a dim view of the ex-convict

Generally, ex-convicts find it hard to get jobs because people feel they are dangerous and that could jeopardize the company.

I don't lean towards that school of thought. Human beings are not perfect..people make mistakes..people learn..people grow and change their ways.People deserve a second chance.The fact that he went to jail once does not mean he would flaut laws again and go back to jail.

If I own a company and an ex-convict comes looking for job,if he is qualified, I will employ the person.

That's very true we all deserve second chances in life. There is no one who is perfect, i agree that the ex convicts have been to jail and have served their term. So when they go out there, there is that thought in their minds, that i do not want to go back to what i was before they are definitely looking forward to making something better for themselves  in future.

There is no definitive answer to this question as it largely depends on the individual ex-convict's criminal history and qualifications. Some potential employers may be more comfortable hiring an ex-convict than others, but it is ultimately up to the individual company to decide.
