And in Germany, it would be illegal to ask unless it was specifically relevant to the job – and courts have specifically decided that you can lie if you're asked and it's not relevant. The US tends to really overreach on that sort of thing, but it's not universal. It may even be that picking contracts in the EU would be useful.

After Brexit he'd need a work permit for that, and I assume convictions are a factor with those.

One only needs a work permit if physically in the EU country, not working remotely from the UK.
