Yes, a company can refuse to hire felons. A private (meaning non-governmental) company can refuse to hire whoever it wants. The only exceptions are gender and race discrimination under federal law. However, it would have to be shown in court that discrimination against race was the motivation for the consistent failure to hire, rather than felony convictions. Given that those convicted of felonies are obviously not the most desirable of employees, it would be extremely difficult if not impossible, regardless of the race differential of felons, to show that race and not the fact that the applicants in question were felons, was the cause of discrimination in hiring practices.
