It is going to depend upon the exact question and context. That question may be asking about the elements of the conviction charge, in which case for most jurisdictions the answer could be "no", or it could be asking about the circumstances of the crime, in which the predicate act of theft is a crime of dishonesty. Even if the question is broad enough to implicate the original charge or facts underlying the conviction, state laws may restrict the ability of an employer to seek that information. For federal jobs, background checks and security clearances, state restrictions won't apply.
